Well acted and tense - Deceit review by TH
Just finished this 4 part series.
It was an interesting and quite dark show which shows the errors from the police on capturing a serial killer rapist by manipulating a female police officer to honey trap a potential profiled suspect.
Acting is great from the lead actress and you can feel her range of emotions
It's hard to review something like this being that it's based on true events but was an eye opening.
