"A quiet woman trapped beside real horror"
Based on the real case of serial killer Fred West, this two-part British drama follows Janet Leach, the untrained "appropriate adult" assigned to sit in on his police interviews and safeguard his rights. It's a tense, deeply uncomfortable watch that trades sensationalism for psychological pressure, focusing on how proximity to evil corrodes an ordinary woman's sense of self. Slow-burning and dialogue-driven, it relies almost entirely on its two central performances to carry the horror, rather than depicting violence directly.
the devastating lead performances anchoring a true-crime story that refuses to sensationalize its horror.
you find true-crime dramatizations of real victims and killers too grim to sit through.
