Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Wests' former house at 25 Cromwell Street in Gloucester, England, was demolished in 1996, two years after the Wests were arrested. The exterior of the Cromwell Street house was recreated using an abandoned building in Cardiff Street, itself on an abandoned street slated for demolition at the time, in Higher Broughton, a suburb of Salford, part of the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. A second house that looms large in the Wests' story, 25 Midland Road, still stands, and its exterior is featured in the mini-series.

Digging Up The Past...
APPROPRIATE ADULT is a superior, true crime drama. Fans of those masterful UK cop shows (i.e.: PRIME SUSPECT, A TOUCH OF FROST, REBUS, WIRE IN THE BLOOD, etc.) will not be disappointed.
Emily Watson is wonderful as the dedicated Janet Leach, and Dominic West lives his role as the oddly sympathetic serial-killer, Frederic West. The relationship between Leach and West is reminiscent of the cat and mouse game between Starling and Lecter in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS.
Monica Dolan is incredibly terrifying as West's sadistic wife Rosemary. She's truly wicked, with facial expressions and stares that do far more than mere words to instill fear.
Highly recommended...
