Alain E @AlainE Jul 29 In cardiology DES are the initials for the medicated stents used to treat coronary blockages. Here is how the disturbing serial killer, played very well by David Tennant, likes to be called. The real life crime series is a great success because, even though we learn from the beginning the identity of the culprit, we continue to watch with undiminished interest. What moves the plot is that the killer plays a cat and mouse game with the police pretending that he doesn’t remember the names of his victims. The chief detective, a very good Daniel Mays, has to carefully analyze the existing evidence, which the killer did his best to render almost useless. At the same time, his superiors are pressuring him to wrap the whole thing up. Faye McKeever plays very well the small role of the ex wife of one of the victims. On Prime.

See more Joel C @Gravedigger Jul 11 This show proved that you don't need gore or kills to tell a captivating story, and after watching this I immediately looked up Dennis Nilsen because not only does this tell the story from the Officer's point of view, but it also shows how creepy and unpredictable Nilsen can be. 10 out of 10!!!

Excellent script executed to perfection See more DMC M @Dee1957 09/07/2024 It was pretty good, I watched all 3 episodes at one time. The actors were good. David Tennant is a clone of Dennis Nilsen, it's uncanny. There's a Netflix doc called "The Nilsen tapes" and a clip of that reveals that he actually said more to police about his motives than what was in this 3 part series, I feel there could have been a lot more to this story other than the frustration the police had trying to get him convicted.
