This is exceptional.

John successfully gets his take passport, and heads to Panama, full of ideas and dreams, some of which are becoming a reality.

I have to be honest, I am hooked, I was hoping to like this, I wasn't expecting to love it, I think this is absolutely brilliant, compulsive viewing.

The story, it's just brilliant, you can't believe how daring he was, he really didn't seem to care, he certainly had ideas, but didn't go into the minute details needed for his elaborate plan to succeed.

The acting once again is awesome, Dolan really is in a class of her own.

Loving it, 9/10.

Darwinian to the extreme

Warning: Spoilers
Monica Dolan is superb as Anne Darwin in this true life adaptation that is so unbelievable but yes it really happened. Eddie Marsan is very convincing as John Darwin, and in a way one can feel bad about his failed business ventures, but what was he thinking in such desperate times. Eddie Marsan makes you want to scream to John Darwin, "Snap out of it" because he completely lacks any kind of self-awareness of his death games that takes himself and Anne to Panama.

One can imagine Anne and John living out their days in Panama but not to be as John really couldn't keep on living his dream forever.

The infamous and incriminating photo of Anne and John is depicted in this episode.
