The Serial Killer's Wife

How well can you truly know someone you love? That is the question that you will need to ask yourself as you watch this 4-part mini-series.

The story follows Beth, a wife and mother, who finds out in the first few moments of episode one that her husband is accused of murder. From there, she starts to look more closer at her husband who has, to this point, been considered an upstanding member of the community through his elite family lineage of the Fairchilds.

Also a doctor who saves lives, Beth can't help but question if he also takes them when she starts to find clues to suggest that her adoring husband is not who she thinks he is. As the evidence mounts up, she starts to take note that he has a sinister side. Or does he?

This mini series will keep making you question what the answer is until the story gives a solid ending to wrap everything up.

Beth is shocked when her husband Tom, is arrested at his 40th birthday party, on suspicion of murder, Beth starts her own enquiries.

We've all seen some shockers from Channel Five, end you could be forgiven for thinking that this is another, but take it from me, this is one of the Channel's best ever dramas, signs that they're moving in the right direction.

It's a straightforward watch, after being utterly puzzled and perplexed by Strike, Ink Black heart, it was nice to watch something so coherent and straightforward, but it is full of twists, turns and suspense.

Pacing is good, at no time does it lull, there are definitely no dips, the intrigue continues the whole way, until the shocking finale.

Excellent performances, the whole cast were on point, Annabel Scholey, Jack Farthing, Luke Treadaway and Angela Griffin all stood out.

Well worth seeing.

8/10.

Not sure actually what I think of this serie, its a story thin as a paper, lots of stupid fillers cause they want so many episodes as possible and worst of all its boring

Also very good acting and quality production

Its just that,, this is not good enough, the head character is annoying, hard to like her or sympathy with her and the story needed something more , its just not that interesting, and the idea behind the story are a bit pointless and dull

But you want to follow it all the way, and since its well done you keep watching, its not sparkle but it works , british film use to be much better than this.

I really loved it! It kept my attention fairly easily and we watched all 4 episodes in one sitting when we couldn't sleep one night. I watch so many shows and am always, always disappointed with their endings and feel somewhat robbed of the time I have easy d getting to that end point........most definitely not the case with this one and it kept me guessing right up to the very very end.

Like I said don't understand the bad reviews so I am glad I ignored them and made my own opinion.

Not read the book but think it's appeared in my kindle suggestions list on occasion and I liked the idea of the storyline. Now I've watched the TV version I doubt I'd bother with the book now however.

Not sure about the low ratings, people must've watched a different series. This has a good cast and an intriguing enough plot. It has a Broadchurch feel about it (possibly because it's on the coast!).

Not obvious who the killer is throughout, so it keeps you engaged. It's not easy creating something original these days but this series manages it.

Good cliffhangers at the end of each episode and in my view it's compelling watching and worse case will take up 3 hours of your time. So not a lot to lose.

Worth a watch and it's only 4 episodes, so easily bingeable. Give it a go. I hope you enjoy it.
