    Great 8 part series. Based on the true story of multiple murders of backpackers in Thailand etc. It focuses on the three people involved in the murders. I’m 6 episodes in and it’s a really good watch. Good cast and acting and fair few quid spent on it.

    I thought this was going to be a behind the scenes documentary on Peter Lawwell.

    I’m trying my best to get into it but, like you, I’ve seen a couple of episodes and not really getting into it. Struggling to see why the guy is doing what he’s doing.
    Might stick with it and hope it becomes clearer.

    Aye stick about. He’s a sociopath and a manipulative *. Great actor too.

    Slow starter, took until episode 3 or 4 for me to really get into it. Enjoyed it in the end.

    Quite staggering story really.

    Aye I liked it. It was a slow start but crazy story and the manipulation was off the scale.
