Steeltown Murders
2023 · Miniseries · TV-MA · ★ 6.8
This true-crime miniseries follows a decades-old murder investigation in South Wales, moving between the original 1970s case and its reopening years later through early DNA advances. It focuses as much on the slow police work as on the lasting grief carried by families, investigators, and the wider community.
