“A crime that took place so many decades ago, but each episode of The Storyteller: Violent Delights, draws you deep into that world, making it feel current and immediate.
Also notable - as demonstrated in series 1 also - is the care that Isla takes to treat each individual as a human being. Even amid the sometimes macabre detail, she always reminds us that there was a wife, a mother, a husband or father involved.
Violent Delights, in particular, is a study of character as much as crime. Rather than simply suggesting that ‘evil’ is at play, we see characters fall prey to vices, frailties, and failings - both their own, and fatally, those of others.”
