From Netflix:

When the Belfast police are stalled in their investigation of a spate of murders, Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson is drafted to investigate. Under her lead, the team uncovers an intricate web of lives entangled by the killings.

These days serial-killer dramas are standard fare and often very similar. Nonetheless some of these presentations are different enough to be of interest. So what makes this one season, 5 episode TV series which I streamed from Netflix worthwhile?

• Both the police investigation and the ordinary home life of the married-with-kids serial killer develop at the same time. You constantly switch back and forth.
• Instead of black and white, good and bad, the killer and the cops are humans with their own mixtures of good and bad.
• Relations between different parties are intricately interwoven.
• In the psychological makeup of the killer is an element of remorse and a desire for normalcy.
• Gillian Anderson (of “X-Files” fame) is as good a stone-faced actor as she is beautiful
• Jamei Dornan, the killer, deserves to be better known.
• Be on the lookout for Archie Panjabi (Reed Smith in “The Fall”) who is the clever and mysterious woman Kalinda Sharma in “The Good Wife”.
• Just as interesting as the main thread, are some secondary themes.

Tell me what you think of the ending. Since I was glued to the screen, I can only heartily recommend this TV series.
