At times, you can almost see the joins where they bolted the thing together – some of the interview footage is evidently old and grainy, much more of it new and taken for this series. Yet none of the old footage is labelled as such.
-
By the end, I could only feel that I’d rubbernecked at this grotesquely inhuman crime story all over again — not an altogether appealing feeling — but I sincerely hope the series gives the families some of that closure.
-
Lazy, misleading and cynical Netflix package.
-
The best that can be said about the latest three-part testimony to human depravity is that it is superficial.
-
The minority unfamiliar with the Wests’ case might find Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story interesting, but I felt grubby and prurient for once again delving into their “house of horrors”. The series’ saving grace is its attempts to do right by the victims’ loved ones.
