Deceit

An absorbing examination of the investigation into a disturbing true life murder and the subsequent police undercover operation to try and entrap the man they believe is responsible.

The decision to make the drama female centric and tell it through the eyes of the undercover cop Sadie Byrne worked really well. Casting was great, Niamh Alghar was standout as the lead and Eddie Marsan was great as ever.

Hard to fault the production in any department, direction and photography were stylish, the score by Marc Calham was beautiful and the story was perfectly paced.

Hats off to all involved, esp. The writer Emilia di Giroloma for a fab script.
