Clicked on the Laci Peterson series without knowing much of the back story other than recognizing her name as a woman who had gone missing. I didn't know she was heavily pregnant when she disappeared. I got drawn in to this limited series immediately, and found it well put together - 3 episodes each dealing with a critical aspect of the story and investigation . I unexpectedly ended up watching all 3 episodes in one sitting and, whilst being captivated by the storyline and how it was told, it was ultimately profoundly heartbreaking learning about both Laci and Conner and also seeing the terrible impact on the families who were interviewed for the series.

The Night Agent, which was recommended, didn't appear to be anything special after a few episodes but as the story and characters developed the series quickly became binge worthy. As one episode ended it pulled you into the next... Great sub plots, with character depth, especially as new characters added , and without becoming too muddled or overly complicated. Some unexpected twists , and all connecting in the end (which is sometimes quite difficult to do in a great mini series but with weak or disappointing finales). No big actor names headlining the series, but these 'unknown' actors did not disappoint. Overall refreshing to find an enjoyable action mini series, which is not so easy to do these days.

Had never heard about the fashion designer Halston and his label prior to viewing ... but after watching Ewan Mcgregor's portrayal of Halston ill never forget him. Truly incredible acting.
