Default The Serpent/BBC1...

....I don’t know if anyone is watching this, I started to watch yesterday and it’s really incredibly gripping and based on a true story... Charles Sobhraj, a French thief, fraudster and serial killer preyed on Western tourists throughout the Hippie Trail of Southeast Asia during the 1970s...it moves back and forth in time so a little confusing in places but really worth staying with, it’s a fascinating...(...and very gruesome..)...watch...

...I binge watched this all yesterday, I just couldn’t put it down...it’s such a gripping story and so tense, especially as it’s a true story as well...it’s excellent and I would totally recommend...

I'm gonna be checking this out soon.

I normally am hit and miss with Crime Stories, but I'm hoping that this one will be a success.

...I’m glad that I binge watched it over a few days because I might have been tempted to start researching the case...I hadn’t been aware of it at all...but yeah, everyone is aware no spoilers to be posted...

I’ve kept away from this thread incase there was spoilers... we’ve just finished it and omg what a story!
Needless to say I’ve refrained from googling anything about any of them until now, and still can’t say too much here, but wow!

Lol...so are we. We have watched one every night.
Nearly gave up after Episode 1...found it a bit corny but glad we stuck with it. It’s a shame with all the constant time changing...there wasn’t any need for it.
Highly recommended...

Yeah I found the backwards and forwards a bit annoying at the start but used to it now!
