Cubitt said that he originally was researching another show he was planning on writing and read a book on the BTK ("Bind, Torture, Kill") serial killer, Dennis Rader. Cubitt found the structure of the book intriguing, which began with a look at the BTK Killer's attack that was possible because of Rader's testimony, his documentary evidence and the extensive forensic evidence that was gathered from the scene of the crime. Cubitt created a structure where the killer is identified immediately, eliminating the whodunit aspect of many stories. The focus could then become the motives for the killings and on the insights that might be gained about the psychology of the killer, even in the face of what might be considered a normal, functioning person with a job, wife and children. Cubitt said this was the starting point that interested him: how this supposedly normally functioning person would then be connected to the crimes.

A guide on how one season can be made into three. The first part is dynamic with an interesting maniac and stylish, strong Stella. The second one is no longer needed, but still holds. The latter is stretched out by the ears – 3 episodes of amnesia or imitation in Paul. They turned a perfect series into a good one.
Gillian Anderson. Jamie Dornan. Detective series from the BBC channel. Good, heavy, viscous and memorable. A difficult topic of psychopathology.
Every person has the right to be defended by a lawyer and is innocent until the court proves otherwise.
