Despite an evocative title and gripping premise, White House Farm feels half-hearted in all of its pursuits; a sad case filled with unending tragedy that, in its attempts to tell a respectful story about the victims, just comes off as disappointingly flat.

Even if you know this is based on real events, it belongs to the same mental universe as Midsomer Murders, with the effect that at times it feels cliched. The tricksy murderer, the beleaguered but ultimately vindicated detective, the gruff superior. It sounds like an unfair accusation to level at reality, but there you are.

Even though we don’t know the case, we could see where the show was going, and were dreading spending the five additional episodes it was going to take to get there. ... Despite good performances from Fox, Addy and Graham, The Murders At White House Farm feels like it wants to tell a deeper story about these notorious murders from the ’80s but just can’t bring itself to do it.
