97 %7 reviews"Head slightly tilted back, his voice benign, David Tennant redefines that hoary screen archetype of the serial killer in this scarifying British true crime drama."
The Age"Des is fascinated by Nilsen, and has a goldmine in Tennant, but wants to drive home the resulting trauma of his actions, too."
Independent"In short, it's a fascinating portrait of a terrible man."
BBC"David Tennant's performance as the titular psychopath, known as Des to his fellow civil servants, was richly detailed and impeccably controlled. Ultimately, however, the show's central strength was Luke Neal's agile screenplay."
The Times"They are generous performances, neither hogging the limelight when they appear together, and creating something even greater than the sum of their parts."
