David Tennant plays a barrister who has never lost a case. But Tennant stumbles into the Dark Side when he reluctantly agrees to defend a man charged with torture and murder of a young woman. Tennant gets his client off on a technicality. But things don’t end there. Tennant’s wife sees the former client starring into the window of their home. Tennant feels he and his family are being stalked by a possible serial killer that he helped escape Justice. I enjoyed this psychological thriller. I missed it when it was shown on PBS, but I caught up with it on AMAZON. If you’re a fan of psychological (and scary) thrillers, The Escape Artist delivers. GRADE: B+
I stupidly forgot to watch the second episode. Argh!
Patti, all three episodes are available on AMAZON.
I didn’t like it from the beginning and quickly changed the channel. The guy was so clearly a psycho that I found it unbelievable.
Jeff, there are psychos and there are psychos.
the world seems to be turning so dark. I’m going to go read The Happy Chipmunks Picnic or The Friendly Flower Family Finds Farmer Fun. Something not dark!
Rick, I wouldn’t call THE ESCAPE ARTIST dark. I’d call it lurid.
