    For those of us who love British shows, especially those about crime and mystery, are in for a delight. Critics be damned I am loving this miniseries. Based on a true story of a socio-psychopath it is engrossing, scary, funny and fantastic. The acting and writing is first rate. I am waiting with bated breath for the final hour. The first two kept me on the edge of my seat. Thank youFor those of us who love British shows, especially those about crime and mystery, are in for a delight.

    It’s the third episode--in which Webster romances prospective victim Simone Banerjee (Archie Panjabi)--where the series really sinks in its claws. The villainy that seemed so one-note in the first part of the mini suddenly becomes intriguingly shaded and complicated.

    The sociopath’s escalating series of offenses almost seems reasonable at first--he just wants to be left alone. Directed by Paul Whittington), The Widower has a surprising undercurrent of humor, but it’s not enough to keep the unexceptional story interesting across three hours.
