4/5
Another new drama that's hard to take your eyes off. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 01/07/2022
Making a murder drama into a story of systemic failure might sound like a recipe for drabness, but this was anything but. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 01/06/2022
Those who make such shows push away talk of prurience, preferring instead the notion of greater "understanding". But who really feels, after watching a series like this, that they're in possession of some profound new insight? Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 06/09/2022
... A tense and emotional drama about Stephen Port’s victims and their families. Go to Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy 06/07/2022
Not an easy series to watch, but it's made with thoughtful restraint and quiet fortitude, resolutely shaking its head in furious empathy as the police time and time again decline to pursue leads offered by the families of the victims. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 01/19/2022
Powerful and moving. That’s critic speak for “they made you weep and shout at the telly at the sheer bloody injustice of it all." Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tobe Z @Tobezoned Feb 4 This mini series was gripping, bursting with emotion and drama. Not once did it feel incentive or exaggerated. Stephen merchant did a phenomenal job portraying the silent evil of Stephen Port. Every actor throughout was brilliant. I warn any prospective viewers, it certainly is a tear jerker, but it's well worth the watch. It manages to be an astounding source of entertainment whilst simultaneously shedding a much needed light on flaws within the UK police system. See more Read all reviews
