Over the years it's been easy to laugh at the dramatic content given to us by Channel five, but things are changing, we've had Blood, and now this.
This was a truly excellent four part drama, The Deceived is a smart, creepy, sinister series, which will have you gripped until its conclusion.
I would agree with the comments about this having more than a hint of Rebecca about it, very much so, and despite being set in modern day, the story has a wonderful vintage feel to it, it could have been written in 1946.
Very nicely produced, well made, very well acted indeed, Emmett J Scanlan gives a very good, captivating performance throughout. You'll be asking yourself is he a good guy or not the whole way through.
The finale leaves us with the possibility of a second series, I'm not sure it's necessary, four episodes of high quality drama, 8/10.
