Featured review

9/10

A great start for this real life crime story.

The real life killing of Amelie Delagrange, a young French girl killed in London, is told in this three part series for ITV.

DCI Colin Sutton is played by Martin Clunes, no wonder he's in such demand, he's a tremendous actor, he doesn't overact or take over, he portrays the Detective as methodical, sensitive and measured, unlike a few of his colleague. The scenes with his wife were good, and gave him enough of a backstory without turning the whole thing into a soap opera.

Still fairly recent in terms of occurrence, I hope the rest of the story is told in the same way, without sensationalising it.

Very solid start, 9/10
