DES

The serial killer confesses his many murders in every detail. There just remains one question, „Why?“ - “No idea. I was kinda hoping you could tell me.” The three-part miniseries about the real life London serial killer Dennis “Des” Nilsen doesn't re-enact his gruesome deeds but rather uses his interviews and trial to craft the psychological profile of an unusual killer and of a pitiless city, where nobody cares if people disappear. David Tennant in the title role and Daniel Mays as the investigating detective give award-worthy performances.
