I just love how the Brits do this genre. Steeltown Murders is another example of that, and it proves that we don't need to see violence to be impacted by the story.
This particular piece got bonus points from me for the lack of violent scenes. I am quite exhausted with the trend at the moment where the depictions of violence either take too much space or is sprinkled on a bit too carelessly. Steeltown focuses on retrospection. The profound shock and grief. The impact on those close to you, wether you are the victim, the perpetrator or the detectives.
Philip Glenister is outstanding as Paul Bethel, the concious detective pushing to confirm who did it with a 100% certainty.
