The Murders at White House Farm

Its slow but worth it. Great actors and well produced.

Cannot, for the life of me, see why this would get any low ratings. Mark Addy and Stephen Graham are tremendous, the writing taut, the supporting acting way above par. Great storytelling, highly recommended.

(Based on) a true story, this 6-part retelling of a notorious multiple murder case features some terrific acting (Freddie Fox as the protagonist and possible sociopath) and Mark Addy as DS Stan Jones, one of the few to be convinced of the former's guilt rather than his sister who is widely blamed.

The mechanics of the story are brilliantly handled (especially given the well-known facts of the case) and a real sense of location and, indeed, foreboding is provided by some great 'atmosphere' shots of the landscape, farm implements and other objects that earth and populate this grim tale.

Dark territory, for sure, but really well handled and impossible to look away from. Highly recommended, but certainly not for the squeamish

Like another reviewer, I suspect there's some criticism of this drama driven by personal views of the actual case and subsequent conviction. As a stand alone crime drama I think it's very watchable. The acting is really pretty good with the conflict between the Stephen Graham and Mark Addy characters being especially riveting. A mention for Gemma Whelan too...understated but believable. So, make up your own mind....episodes 1 and 2 kept me very engaged. Hope it maintains its standard.

The first thirty minutes are a bit slow, but it's a rollercoaster ride from then on. I intended to watch two episodes at a time but ended up watching this in one sitting - it's that good.

As others have mentioned, Steven Graham's welsh accent is as terrible as his character's dialogue, but that's the only negative comment I have. The rest of the cast are very good and Mr. Fox is quite chilling as Jeremy Bamber.

Well worth a watch.
