It was difficult but Timothy Small is such a wonderful actor I just couldn't stop watching it.

I’ve just watched the first episode and didn’t know it was based on real life events. It was a difficult watch and I was gripped by the story and had no idea what would happen next. Won’t watch anymore though as Primrose53 has just given the ending away. Perhaps a spoiler alert needs adding to the title so others don’t have their viewing ruined.

The film crew used our car park for all their vehicles, food vans, make up vans etc so had to watch it. A difficult watch but interesting portrayal of a terrible event.

Yes I realised I knew all about this case as soon as it started. DH and I stuck it out for half an hour then both agreed we didn’t want to watch anymore.

It was an awful case. Innocent pensioners tricked and duped and then killed by a person who, on the face of it, seemed a decent church going guy.

Do you know the case? It was truly awful and I’m finding it a difficult watch because it’s true and just so tragic and unbelievably wicked.

After watching this play up until the remaining 10 minutes, I decided that it was too painful to watch any longer. Mind you I could be completely wrong in surmising about the direction in which I am presuming it is heading. Just couldn't bear to watch it any more,
