    What emerges is a well-intentioned, solidly acted, but monochromatic retelling. While it rightly bleaches itself of sensationalism, there are too many other blanks.

    There's no denying that this series is once again an example of how ITV continues to pull off heart-racing true crime dramas, but it never truly breaks out of the shadow of the killer.

    The series determinedly reframes the narrative that was established back in 2010 and battles to not be part of the 24-hour news media circus that swept the nation 13 years ago. But in some respects it becomes a tad finger-wagging and sanctimonious given that the show is technically also profiting from the tragedy. It strives to walk as respectful a line as possible but, as is the case with all true crime programming, some ethical considerations and questions aren’t easily answered.
