A fantastic piece of television. We follow a serial murderer who marries and then kills rich older ladies for their money - but then falls in love for real. From the outset, we have an idea of the destination, but the journey has some unexpected and wickedly satisfying swerves. If you only watch one episode from this show in your life, make it this one.
