Season 1 Review: Despite an evocative title and gripping premise, White House Farm feels half-hearted in all of its pursuits; a sad case filled with unending tragedy that, in its attempts to tell a respectful story about the victims, just comes off as disappointingly flat. Read full review

The Independent Ed Cumming

Season 1 Review: Even if you know this is based on real events, it belongs to the same mental universe as Midsomer Murders, with the effect that at times it feels cliched. The tricksy murderer, the beleaguered but ultimately vindicated detective, the gruff superior. It sounds like an unfair accusation to level at reality, but there you are. Read full review

Season 1 Review: So far it’s all a little paint-by-numbers. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even though we don’t know the case, we could see where the show was going, and were dreading spending the five additional episodes it was going to take to get there. ... Despite good performances from Fox, Addy and Graham, The Murders At White House Farm feels like it wants to tell a deeper story about these notorious murders from the ’80s but just can’t bring itself to do it.

This is a really good and creepy crime miniseries. The acting and writing are uniformly good. I watched all 4.5 hours of it in one sitting. The fact that it is a true story is truly disturbing.

Thanks to an intrepid cop, the case became more complicated and determining the real killer takes up this series. It’s largely a procedural…right down to the final court case…but it’s also a solemn yet absorbing drama. The show’s strength comes from watching the case slowly unfold and the effects it has on the remaining family. There’s nothing groundbreaking here, but its solid direction, effective performances and interesting story make for an absorbing experience.… Expand
