The Sixth Commandment

CriticsCritics: 85
AudienceAudience: 7.6

This true-crime miniseries follows a manipulative young church figure who gains the trust of vulnerable older people in a small English community. As troubling events unfold, relatives and investigators work to understand what happened, exploring loneliness, faith, deception, and the dangers of misplaced trust.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer unsettling, slow-building British true-crime dramas focused on psychology and performances; Not for you if you want fast action, a traditional mystery, or consistently light viewing.
