Beautifully shot, terrific performances and a script that sizzles with a mix of verbatim and written dialogue, this outstanding drama is a world away from most British true crime. It feels like a reinvention of the genre and is a truly compelling watch. Sion Daniel Young turns in a superb performance as Stagg and we feel every ounce of his suffering as he's targeted by the unstoppable Niamh Algar as Lizzie James. Eddie Marsan is gently terrifying as the criminal psychologist out of his depth. I've never seen anything quite like this before. An absolute 10/10.
