Description

In 2006, 13-year-old Tair Rada was found dead inside a bloodied toilet cubicle at school in Israel. This four-part documentary series, originally a hit on Netflix, follows events during the search for her killer and exposes flaws in the criminal justice system. It starts with the arrest of Roman Zadorov, a Ukrainian immigrant who worked at the school. HR Earth 9pm, BBC Two I spent a lot of the first episode wondering what was supposed to be so different about a series that seemed like a fairly stodgy murder mystery, and why most of the characters sounded as if they were speaking in translation. I spent the last 10 minutes thinking: I can’t believe I’m going to have to watch this whole thing to see if it’s going where I think it’s going. This is the sort of thriller that it is difficult to write about in advance without ruining it completely, but I will say that anyone who has watched some of these actors in previous roles may not be totally blindsided.

Two of the grisly murders that take place in Wolf (Tuesday, 9pm, BBC One) happen in an area called “the donkey pitch”. The murders are not inherently funny but every time a gnarled police officer or suited and booted detective speaks gravely of the donkey pitch murders, or what happened at the donkey pitch, I wondered if they might have been prudent to choose a less asinine location. To me, the word donkey is more goof than oof.Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. She received a Lifetime Achievement prize at Women in Film And TV awards in 2018. Who else is in the cast? Mo Hayder’s jobs included filmmaker, Tokyo nightclub hostess, and English language teacher in Asia. She was also the author of Birdman; The Treatment; The Devil of Nanking, winner of the Elle Magazine crime fiction prize; Pig Island, shortlisted for the Barry Award for Best British Crime Novel; Ritual, shortlisted both for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award and for the coveted Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award; Skin; and Gone; as well as the winner of the 2011 Crime Writers’ Association Dagger in the Library award for outstanding body of work. She passed away in 2021 at the age of 59.

Perfectly and wonderfully paced, and imaginatively plotted and written . . . There are twists and turns aplenty here—not so many as to be confusing, but just enough to keep the reader reading incessantly from first sentence to last paragraph. . . . Read Wolf; you simply will never forgive yourself if you don’t.”—Joe Hartlaub, Bookreporter.com When the two narratives collide, it’s a thrilling, nail-biting and deeply disturbing race against time." Where is Wolf filmed?It really is a production rooted in Wales, making the most of our fabulous Welsh landscapes – and of course Welsh talent and crew. We are soon into a world of conspiracy, snakes, teenage secrets, gruesome wounds, a hermit in the woods, a canine bellyful of jewellery, camp comedy, more snakes, a near-drowning, procedural police work, dream and nightmare sequences and voyeuristic torture scenes. (If you are not au fait with Hayder’s work, you should be warned that she liked to linger and this adaptation honours that commitment.) But there is never any explanation of what a donkey pitch is – unless, of course, I missed it as I fought to keep my head above the rising tide of absurdity.
