Netflix says: Loosely based on the facts surrounding Britain's notorious Yorkshire Ripper case, this grim thriller, Part 1 in the television adaptation of David Peace's novels, uncovers rampant police and civil corruption in mid-1970s Northern England. Girls are disappearing, the Yorkshire community is abuzz with gossip and fear, and a young reporter (Andrew Garfield) is suspicious when a mentally handicapped immigrant is fingered for the heinous crimes.
Rob says: While not as great as movies like ‘Zodiac’ or other similar films, “Red Riding: 1974’ gathers a mix of films from the genre and bits of ‘Life on Mars.’ Andrew Garfield gives a great performance as the ‘Young Turk’ reporter Eddie Dunford, who tries to uncover corruption in the local police while trying to solve a serial murder.
4.5 stars
