The Deceived (2020)
8/10
A thoroughly enjoyable thriller.
6 September 2020
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.
