“The tale of ‘black-cab rapist’ John Worboys gives the spotlight to the survivors. It’s a sensitive, compelling look at their fight for justice – which rightly pushes the perpetrator into the background. […] Created and written by Jeff Pope, it follows his customarily credible practice of relegating the perpetrator (here played by Daniel Mays, your go-to actor for weak, contemptible male characters, and I hope it is clear that this is praise) as much as possible to the background. “I’m not really interested in trying to get inside the mind of psychopaths,” Pope has said. And why would you be, when the heroism of some ordinary people, and the failings and inadequacies of others – and the institutions the latter build in their image – offer such rich pickings?”

The Guardian has given ‘Believe Me’ shot by Bryan Gavigan 4 stars! It is available to watch on ITVX now.
