I know I'm late to the game on this one (as this came out earlier in the year) but for anyone looking for a great detective series they need to check out, ‘The Murders at White House Farm’, as it's brilliant.
The sad thing is that it's based on a true story that took place back in August of 1985, when five members of the same family were murdered at an Essex farmhouse, including two young boys. At first it appears to be a murder-suicide as the daughter suffered from mental illness but one of the detectives who is involved in the investigation just doesn't buy it. Mark Addy portrays DS Stan Jones and he is amazing in this role. Also outstanding is Freddie Fox, who plays Jeremy Bamber, the son of the murdered family.
One of the most impressive things is that the story is told in only six episodes, yet splendidly so, and no more episodes were needed. This definitely kept me watching and on the edge-of-my seat. This is a suspenseful show with solid performances.
