Andy Croft This film was portrayed in a very strong and parsonage way. The cast played daunting characters with tremendous effort. This movie is chilling in the fact that it is still on the mind of many people. I only rated it a 6 as I thought maybe more could have been put across about how these two absolute animals lived their horrific murderous life's. There may have been some restraints on what could be told.I lived local as a child to these areas and today the mention of Brady and Hindley runs chills through peoples bones.Great film - Great CastA must on the TO WATCH list !

T Y This gets off to a poor start by losing its nerve, and becoming a very conventional sermon. Of all the ways to tell the story of the Moors murders, they chose a police procedural; a genre that dull-witted citizens can watch in their safe living rooms without being exposed to anything particularly troubling; and learn some lesson they can usually forget by lunch tomorrow. In order to take viewer identification off of Brady and Hindley, we arrive late in the sequence of things and are offered instead the protagonist/viewpoint of David Smith, a belated accomplice. 4 out of 5 of the crimes of Brady and Hyndley are already over. And the movie is too polite to name their grotesque acts.It would have helped if they specified their deeds, and made the two as grotesque and depraved as they actually were. Instead any detail that would drive home the horror and revulsion of their crimes is lost in deference to 'good taste.' The movie keeps hedging its premise. It flirts with banality in offering details like a lisping police sergeant, but providing almost no detail about the murders. This is a movie where we spend maybe 2 hours with the killers, and zero time with any of the 5 victims. Just what Brady and Hindley needed, more exposure. The most they can spare for the victims is a few images before the crawl. Bizarre. It's well-acted, but mostly ends up being a bland, forgettable study of police work, rather than the vivid, horrifying portrayal of evil that is now long overdue. Audiences will still need to ask their older relatives, precisely what it is Brady and Hindley did to deserve their exceptional shunning.

Nicola Bullen (StupidLittleActress) Maxine Peake and Sean Harris both have wonderful performances as the infamous Moors Murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady. Such a powerful programme, yet there was hardly any gore. The silence just before it cut to adverts was creepy and surreal and let the events really sink in. After watching countless two part dramas on television I can safely say this is the best yet. The acting was second to none; you generally believed that Maxine and Sean were the people they portrayed. The devastation of the families was so well shown, your heart went out to the families of the murdered. A wonderful dramatisation of a relatively touchy subject. Very well done.

myrndra When I saw this television drama advertised I didn't think I'd be watching it; I don't believe in recent (in the last 50 years) true crimes being 'used' as a source of 'entertainment'.I did watch the second half of 'See No Evil', however. I think the cast was uniformly excellent, especially the two actors in the lead roles. It was intelligently written and focused more on how the crimes affected those around the killers than on the heinous nature of their murders.It also brought to light the hard work of some of the police involved in the case as well as the ordinary people who volunteered to search the moors for the victims' bodies with nothing more sophisticated than sticks. At one end of the human spectrum was the bewildering amorality of the murderers; at the other, the generosity of those trying to help with the police searches. When the end credits rolled over silence, I found myself in tears.A brave and sober account of events that no one who was alive and living in Manchester at the time will ever forget.
