Smoothly told, interesting three-part miniseries about the true hunt for a murderer in British Leicestershire in 1984. Based on groundbreaking work in the field of DNA led by Alec Jeffreys (John Simm), the police investigation takes a completely different turn. Just a bit too short and superficial to really make an impression, with some overly thick acting from Simm here and there. Apart from that, quite exciting and nowhere less than entertaining.
