The first time I watched this I was pretty disappointed and found it to be average enough but on watching it a 2nd time I was drawn back into the murders that were committed in my local area.
The church tried to keep this silent for quite a while and the "respectability of Howell" and his upright standing in the Baptist church was based on the fear that the church would look bad under the circumstances.
Hazel Stewart certainly was not manipulated and was a willing accomplish with Howell.
The series itself was pretty true to the facts and Nesbitt played the part pretty well.
The second time I watched it I was captivated and shocked at the coldness and depravity of the way that the 2 murders calmly went about their daily lives inside and outside of the church.
