Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Marta123 I just recently discovered the series. I watched the Beyond the Pale episode first and really liked it: it was a morally complex and empathetic story. Murder at Road Hill was quite good but it just wasn't as morally challenging as Beyond the Pale. All in all, it's a great series. I hope they make more!

Neil Welch The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher is based on Kate Summerscale's book of the same name. This book is not a novel: rather it is a factual (and, if truth be told, rather dry) recounting of the facts of the case and everything relating to it (including the individuals involved) based on the original documentary evidence.The film concentrates on the case and doesn't tell us very much about the backgrounds of Mr Whicher, the Kent family, detection within the English police force and how it was viewed by the public, and so on. As such it, too, is a little dry, although the drama inherent in the story is augmented by performance drama.The film may disappoint because the conclusion is somewhat perfunctory and the "what happened afterwards", delivered at length on the course of a couple of lengthy chapters in the book, is here given over the space of three or four title cards.

Guy THE SUSPICIONS OF MR WHICHER is about one of the first British detectives, who is called to investigate the murder of a child in Victorian Wiltshire, only to discover the case is more complex than previously thought. Part of ITV's recent spending spree on quality drama to counter-act it's image as the channel of THE X FACTOR and BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT, this is a rather thin drama that is a good half-hour too long. The drama is based on a historical case and whilst this adds authenticity it also interferes with the quality of the narrative. Real life is complex and odd and therefore more difficult to turn into compelling TV than fictional crime, which can be made to fit the narrative perfectly.The acting, camera-work, editing and production values are all good but the screenplay suffers by trying to fit reality to a fictional template. Following Inspector Whicher's investigation as a whodunnit simply doesn't work. Partly because of the lack of twists and turns to maintain tension. Partly because Whicher is unable to prove whodunnit and therefore the denouement is thoroughly unsatisfying.Ultimately it turns out that fiction is often more compelling than reality. This isn't bad TV, just thin material stretched too far.

Tweekums When a three-year old child is abducted from his cot and murdered in 1860 suspicion initially falls on the boy's nanny as he was in her room at the time; she however is adamant that she is innocent. When Inspector Whicher is dispatched from London to Wiltshire to take over the investigation he is inclined to believe her. His suspicion soon falls on the boy's sister Constance; the problem is he cannot find the evidence he needs and the local constabulary are less than helpful. As the case progresses Whicher becomes more and more convinced that she is guilty but the evidence that would send her to the gallows continues to elude him and on the day of the hearing to determine if Constance should stand trial it is clear that the villages are all sure of her innocence.In this day and age we are used to murder mysteries where the detectives will examine a scene and find DNA, fingerprints and tiny traces of hair before analysing them with high-tech equipment; refreshingly there is none of that here; Whicher must build a case on largely circumstantial evidence or extract a confession if he is to see the killer punished… this did lead to a rather sudden ending but as the story was based on a real case one can't really complain about its resolution. Paddy Considine put in a fine performance as Inspector Whicher and Alexandra Roach was good as his chief suspect; the sixteen-year old Constance.
