Underrated.

I gave this movie/series 10/10 stars not because it was that good = it was very good - but because it is much better than the current score of 6.8 out of 10 stars. Honestly, it's an 8 stars, at least. Very well acted. With Alun Armstrong, forcryingoutloud. Need I say more? Joanne Froggatt does a fine job of acting as well. There. I said more. Also, another fine period piece to treat your eyes, your and your sensibilities to. Lovely costuming and scenes. Authentic. The language and script were authentic as well...I had to look up a few phrases which is always a good sign. Read along with Mary Ann Cotton's listing in Wikipedia. It follows closely along the reported life and only within 3 episodes. Such a long and eventful life for a serial killer. A woman serial killer. You can find the listing of her last child on Findagrave.com - the only one to have survived into adulthood out of the 13: Margaret Edith Quick-Manning Cotton Kell - who lived to be 81-years old. No small feat. She moved to America and came back to Durham County where she finally died. She raised four children who all lived well-into the 20th century.
