    With the local Thai police both corrupt and uninterested in the fate of ‘long-hairs’, Knippenberg becomes the detective figure in the subsequent story; once you grasped that, The Serpent became less slippery.

    Engrossing as it builds to moments of Hitchcockian suspense, the eight-part The Serpent shifts sometimes too dizzying back and forth through time as it dramatizes Sobhrah's merciless crimes. Still, you'll root for those who trying to pin him down. [12 - 25 Apr, p.11]

    In the broad strokes "The Serpent" resembles any number of true-crime tales, but by meeting those criteria, this limited series still manages to get under your skin.
