The Serial Killer's Wife

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.

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.

Loved it and not sure why the negativity in some of the reviews so far. Watched the four episodes over a couple of nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good casting and excellent acting by the main characters (love Annabel Scholey from The Split and again fantastic in this). No doubt if you want to dissect it minute by minute you'll find a couple of. Flaws but for most it'll be 4 hrs of good tv entertainment. Nice amount of twists and turns leading up to the final episode that left me intrigued to see if there's a series 2 after Jules's appearance mid credits so don't switch off as soon as they start to roll..

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.

My Review - The Serial Killer's Wife My rating 6.5 /10 Streaming on Paramount

I must say I enjoyed the performances especially from Julie Graham as Clover the Serial Killers wife and Jack Farthing as her problematic husband Tom.

Mercifully 4 episodes were enough for me as the plot began to unravel into unexpected improbable scenarios.

The conclusion leaves room for a second series but I doubt it will be forthcoming because it's just not good enough to warrant one in my view.

Especially when excellent original series like the recent Étoile don't get a second series I can't see this just average melodrama achieving an encore?

I admit the first episode of The Serial Killer's Wife won me over as I thought it an interesting perspective to concentrate on the innocent victim married to a monster .

However as the story developed, no spoilers from me it became a little tedious as the serial killer aspect got blurred with an improbable plot twist that concentrated on the dysfunctional characters that certainly included The Serial Killer's Wife.

I have a theory that mini crime series don't benefit from multiple screenwriters in this case three screenwriters contributed to the story but I felt in this case to many cooks spoilt this pot boiler.
