"David Tennant delivers a breathtaking and career-defining performance as one of the most infamous serial killers in British history: Dennis Nilsen. Known as the 'kindly killer,' Nilsen was an unassuming civil servant who spent five years murdering young men he met on the streets of Soho. When he was finally caught in 1983, Nilsen had murdered a total of fifteen men, making him Britain's most prolific serial killer of the time."--From container. 1. Episode 1 On 9 February 1983, Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jay is called to the leafy North London address of 23 Cranley Gardens, where he discovers the drains clogged with rotting flesh and bones. But the extent of this grisly discovery only becomes apparent when the culprit returns from work. Dennis Nilsen, a meek man, freely admits to the police that it's not just one or two bodies but '15 or 16, I think'. How had they allowed this to happen under their noses for five years? 2. Episode 2 With limited resources, Jay and the police continue to dig into Nilsen's memories in an effort to identify and convict him for the murder of every one of his victims. But when Des suddenly withdraws his cooperation and stops talking to the police, Jay fears justice will be lost. Meanwhile, Des confides increasingly in Brian, which proves a unique obstacle for Jay, who has never had to deal with a criminal biographer before. 3. Episode 3 Reeling from Des' change in plea, Jay and the police throw themselves into proving premeditation. If they can show the court that Des was undoubtedly of sound mind when he committed his crimes, he will go down and never be released. If they fail, Des could get a cushier sentence on diminished responsibility and effectively escape justice.
