    Don't Usually Enjoy These Dramas

    I found myself checking this out as the story intrigued me on how you could do this to not only your own children but anyone for that matter, this story is beyond evil. We dive into the perspective of Anne Darwin (Wife to John) on what she and her husband did to their children and loved ones, their downfall and how everything turned out.

    I felt this show was quite accurate with the true story of it, down to every little detail, I quote did like how much effort they put into this show, true stories are often very intriguing and I wish I could dive even deeper into this one.

    Great watch!

    Enjoyable

    If this had been fiction it would have been written off as ridiculous.

    The fact that it is true makes it even more unbelievable.

    It is hard to imagine what was going through John Darwin's mind to think he could get away with it, although he was ably assisted by such institutions as the passport applications and coroner's offices.

    Top performances by Monica Dolan and Eddie Marsan.

    It was hard to keep a straight face when Karl Pilkington was on screen.

    Well that was abit of great!

    This four part show had me and the Mrs gripped. I'm surprised by the lack of reviews for it but honestly everyone should watch this, great story, great musical story telling, great acting from the two mains.

    Honestly give it watch.

    It's John Darwin's world, we're just living in it

    This man loves himself doesn't he.

    Eddie Marsan, who I love from Ray Donovan Etc, completely transforms as Darwin, and if you see any of the real John's interviews, he gets his personality off to a tee. He's horrible John Darwin, but he does it all with a smile. He seems so ignorant to everyone's feelings and he jokes in the most innapropriate of times. Mark Stanley impresses much more than when I last saw him in Trigger Point.

    I really enjoyed this series though. It didn't drag on. And as I seemed to have missed this news story when it originally broke I was intrigued to see how it all would pan out.

    Excellent and highly enjoyable adaptation of an intriguing true story

    New four part series based on the bizarre disappearance of John Darwin who faked his own death to escape his creditors.

    Written by Chris Lang who created the brilliant 'Unforgotten' I had high hopes for this and wasn't disappointed. Both leads Monica Dolan and Eddie Marsan were outstanding, production values were high and the script was inch perfect. The jaunty score was lovely and set the tone beautifully.

    Really enjoyed this series from start to finish, a quality TV drama in all respects, well done to all those involved in the making of it.

    • Trivia
      While serving her sentence at Low Newton Prison, the real Anne Darwin was occasionally mistaken, by the other inmates, for serial killer Rosemary West, who was also detained at the prison. This was due to their similar age and the fact that they both wore glasses. Monica Dolan, who plays Anne Darwin, previously played Rose West in Une femme de confiance (2011).
    • Goofs
      The accents portrayed by the characters throughout the series are not local Hartlepool/Teesside accents but that of Geordie (Newcastle) which is 25+ miles away from were the characters are from.
