There's a bathroom at the beginning of this dramatized police procedural which is so disgusting that I almost gave up then and there, though Q reminded me Eddie Marsan was in it and we should proceed. I'm quite glad we did because good though he (always) is, it turns out Niamh Algar (Calm With Horses, The Virtues) is the star of the show. Telling of undercover copper and her attempt to trap Wimbledon Common killer in the early 1990s. Shot very high contrast and colourfully (Jan Jonaeus).
Not sure this was a good idea, really, conceived by Emilia di Girolamo, fictionalising the undercover cop who was used in a honeytrap which failed for that reason; and they had the wrong man to start with.
With Sion Daniel Young, Harry Treadaway, Nathaniel Martello-White.
I liked the little touch though about her teeth being too white for a meth addict and it blew the score.
