The Pembrokeshire Murders (2021)

It's just a soap opera about a true crime.

[2/10 · 13 January 2021]

I'm from Pembrokeshire, I know the area well and I remember all the murders happening, it was even considered that Gwen and Peter Dixon may have been murdered for stumbling across Irish terrorists smuggling arms. So, I was looking forward to this, I like Luke Evans immensely and Keith Allen is a solid actor. Sadly within five minutes it was more a soap opera about the life of Steve Wilkins than the murders., but, I stuck with it and then wishing I hadn't. There are so many goofs that I am not even going to try and list them, but, seriously, do you think they would allow a prisoner in jail to have a set of dart in his cell? I suppose they put that in because Cooper famously appeared as a contestant on the game show 'Bullseye' Why can't they have focussed on the murders and other crimes Cooper committed instead of trying to pad it out with the life and times of Steve Wilkins. Very poor and contrived.
