He attacked her before escaping capture
Scenario
Delia Balmer, a nurse from the agency, met Sweeney, who confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend. Balmer rebuilt her life to confront Sweeney seven years later after he was arrested for another murder.
Based on a true crime story
The bodies were dumped in the canals of Rotterdam (not Amsterdam) and London. This short series left me speechless, it just blew me away!
The first two episodes are the most intense and brutal
Not only because of the great actors and performances, but also because of how well the story is told, realistic, very powerful and at times uncomfortable and frustrating. Once you start watching it, you won’t be able to stop!
Actress Anna Maxwell as Delia is simply magnificent!
She acts with great strength, power and realism, I can’t imagine anyone better, it’s just perfection! The series reflects on the protection systems that are in place around victims of abuse and holds accountable those who should be contributing to ensuring their safety.
Don’t miss this one!
The plot is very well structured, each episode marks a unique stage in the development of events and they focus very deeply on personal obsessions. This is an extremely solid British true crime production that will get under your skin thanks to excellent performances.
