Get ready for marriages, sickness and murder. Britain's first female serial killer is brought to life in this excellent two part ITV series. It is a very dark, grim story, not one for the faint hearted. Cotton gets a formula, to make money, and sticks with it, killing all those who get in her way.
Wonderful costumes, it looks incredibly accurate and well made. Froggatt in particular wears some great outfits.
Joanne Froggatt shines as Mary Ann Cotton. I applaud her and the production team, writers, for making her sincere, and understated, you buy into her as a character, she's cool and calculating. Jonas Armstrong and Alun Armstrong are excellent also.
Don't drink the tea! 8/10
