Deceit

A moving and quite heartbreaking account of a special police unit, set up to ensnare their number one suspect of a grisly murder. But is their suspect the right man? What follows is a psychological game of cat & mouse, that ends with devastating consequences.

Based on true life events, it works well as an insight into how, even when we truly believe something to be so, that it doesn't always mean that it is.

You know what it's like - just one more episode then I'm going to bed then before you know it you've done the whole thing and it's 2:00am on a work night! I have no idea who has rated this low but they were not watching the same thing as me! I was gripped and can't quite believe that the police, those that are here to protect us, could behave so despicably, so devious and blinkered. No spoilers but just wait until the last two episodes! Absolutely amazing!!!

Well written and acted. Based in 1992 London. WPC undercover entrapment Story. But all is not what it seems; The mini series of four episodes tells the compelling true story. (Some characters and events are adaptations to tell the story)

I can't believe the low rating this has received.

Did all contributors watch the whole series or just rate after a few minutes of the first episode?

This is a great watch especially for a fact-based story.

Gripping, intriguing, compelling and sultry.

If fits in well with general detective dramas that lead you one way then somewhere else entirely in the final scenes.

I just had to keep watching like a good book you can't put down.

It's just the opening scenes of s1e1 that didn't really seem to be needed.

Considering it's based on a true story I think the writers did a good job of squeezing as much drama as possible from the events.

But it's not perfect. There are some very slow moments and overall it might have fitted one less episode better.

Having said that, it is quite compelling and most of the lead actors were excellent.
