The Beast Must Die S01E01-E04 480p WEBRip x264

Frances Cairnes sets about achieving something that The Police couldn't, to find out who killed her son in a motoring accident, and punish them. Initially I thought this was going to be a retelling of the great horror film from the 1970's, I was pleased to see it was an original show, and it's a particularly good one. It's almost like a game of cat and mouse, the stakes are very high. I like the mystery, and love the set of characters, there is some real depth, some real intensity in them, particularly Frances and George. Cush Jumbo and Jared Harris are the two standouts, but the supporting cast are fine too, the wonderful Geraldine James. It's very well made, gorgeously produced, I wish I knew when the rest of the episodes were coming, it's a shame they weren't all uploaded at once. If this is the quality of programming to come out of Britbox, then the subscription is worth every penny. It's better than most of what's on terrestrial TV. There is a Ruth Rendell vibe to it, those stories from the 90's, I get those vibes. Highly recommended, 9/10.
