It took me a few moments to realise it was David Tennant, it almost felt as if he’d channeled the spirit of Nilsen - just extraordinary.
Kudos as well for casting Daniel Mays and Jason Watkins in the role of the Inspector and biographer - all three actors are at the top of their game and its such a pleasure to watch a British production of this high calibre.
As a teenage runaway myself, who lived on the streets and in London squats in 1983, the Nilsen story has always had a strange resonance for me. The ‘banality of evil’ label is so overused these days but in Nilsen’s case it is spot on. It’s been many years since I read Masters’ book but this opening episode really captures the atmosphere surrounding the case - can’t wait for the next episode.
