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.

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!
