Based on a true story about a murderer and his relationship with an older woman in Camden Town in the early 1990s. Shaun Evans and Anna Maxwell-Martin are as good as you'd expect - her wavering accent is (sort of) explained by her peripatetic roots. In fact it's Martin's strongest performance for a while.
But I tell you what, after being raped and attacked by him the first time, I would have definitely moved, let alone after the second time... Interesting in its treatment of the victim - the shame, the sense of outrage, the feeling she's been let down. In fact it was based on her own account.
This is juxtaposed with the Dutch police investigating a murder - every single shot that introduces the Dutch segments is of the water in a canal.
