Appropriate Adult - a decent TV film concerning the Fred and Rosemary West case. It is a masterclass of acting more than anything, with Dominic West and Emily Watson quite amazing in their rôles. Monica Dolan is utterly terrifying as Rose West!
It is good viewing, but starts to lose its way towards the end, I feel, getting a bit dramatically saggy and over-long. Overall though, a superb bit of crime drama without ever reaching the heights of The Red Riding Trilogy.
