This series is very much underrated. Tim Roth is malevolence personified. I do not really know what else to say other than do not let the way-too-low IMDb score fool you. From the quick reads that I did over the internet, the storyline stays close to the truth. Well-done 'period piece' as well. Nico Mirallegro does a heart-wrenching portrayal of the young and hapless Tim Evans. All the acting is top notch and the dialogue is very natural and believable. Kudos to Samantha Morton as Ethel Christie.
