Luther creator Neil Cross brings us a suspenseful new murder mystery titled The Sister, starring Russell Tovey as a man with a terrible secret who is trying to escape the (literal) ghosts of his past. As Cross himself put it, this is “a tale of psychological suspense, of guilt and ghosts and murder. Oh, and love. Always love. Our job is to make viewers want to sleep with the lights on.”
Gonna give this a watch.
Good start.
Russell Tovey also stars in Banished I watched it when it came out a few years ago,it's very good.

The Sister viewers 'switch off' as they bemoan Russell Tovey's 'constant mumbling' and the slow-paced plot of the supernatural thriller, branding it the 'worst ITV drama in ages'
The four-part ITV drama follows Nathan (played by Russell), who's spent years trying to atone for a terrible mistake in his past, involving the death of his wife's sister, Elise

Dark Land: Hunting the Killers sees a team of experts using modern policing methods to look at cold cases
Dark Land: Hunting the Killers is a new BBC true crime series which reinvestigates some of Wales’s most shocking unsolved murders.
The series follows an expert team looking at the cold cases, with each episode focusing on a new notorious murder.
Dark Land: Hunting the Killers release date on iPlayer Dark Land: Hunting the Killers will be released on BBC iPlayer on Sunday 1st November. It will also begin on Sunday 1st November on BBC1 Wales at 10.30pm.

The team have skills in all areas of forensic criminology and hope their modern policing methods can identify the prime suspects in these unsolved cases
Dr Lundgren said: “With cold cases, especially the sorts of cases we’re looking at that go back to the 1940s, it’s a real challenge to see how new technology can help and potentially uncover new lines of enquiry.”
What’s the first case in Dark Land: Hunting the Killers? The first case focuses on the murder of Maureen Mulcahy. The series asks whether a man connected by DNA to a trio of other murders of young women in the area could be involved?
23-year-old Maureen was dropped off by a friend at a pub in Port Talbot on 21st February 1976. She was never seen alive again and her body was found in a disused playing field. Her murderer escaped justice.
What other cases does the series look at?

Her skeleton was found 41 years later in a cave on the Gower coastline.

In Atlanta, Georgia, the XXVI Summer Olympiad is disrupted by the explosion of a nail-laden pipe bomb in Centennial Olympic Park. The bombing, which occurred during a free concert, killed a mother who had brought her daughter to hear the rock music and injured more than 100 others, including a Turkish cameraman who suffered a fatal heart attack after the blast. Police were warned of the bombing in advance, but the bomb exploded before the anonymous caller said it would, leading authorities to suspect that the law enforcement officers who descended on the park were indirectly targeted. Within a few days, Richard Jewell, a security guard at the concert, was under investigation for the crime.
