Multiple Australian outlets review a new British true-crime drama based on London’s “black cab” rapist case. The reports describe the series as harrowing and focused on how the investigation unfolds, including the failures they say allow serious offences to continue for a time. Across the reviews, the central emphasis is on alleged institutional problems within policing during the period depicted, particularly the impact of misconduct and attitudes towards women. While the outlets frame the show as an account of a real case, they also note that it functions as drama, shaping events for screen rather than presenting a documentary-style retelling. Taken together, the coverage positions the series as difficult viewing but one they argue is worth watching for what it depicts about law enforcement processes and accountability in the case of violent sexual crime.
