He attacked her before escaping capture
Chronology
Delia Balmer, a nurse at the agency, met Sweeney, who confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend. Balmer rebuilt her life to deal with Sweeney seven years after his arrest for another murder.
Based on a true story
The bodies were dumped in the canals of Rotterdam (not Amsterdam) and London. Mostly thanks to Anna Maxwell Martin’s performance.
Finally she has a role that showcases her invaluable talent
Shaun Evans brings all the awkwardness to a role that I’m sure deeply disturbed him as an actor. He’s been one of my all-time favorites ever since his brilliant turn as the young Inspector Morse.
Please let them win ALL the awards
It’s hard to watch him play such a dark, tormented soul, but that’s when you know you’re watching someone with such star power – you can’t take your eyes off him. Ann’s acting skills are simply off the charts in terms of the depth of emotion, from uncomfortable humor to deep pain.
Kudos to ALL
Kudos to the team behind the camera for bringing this very difficult and dark story to light.
