Story
Agency nurse Delia Ballmer met with Sweeney, who confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend. Ballmer rebuilt his life to confront Sweeney seven years later after he was arrested for another murder.
Based on a true crime story
The bodies were dumped in canals in Rotterdam (not Amsterdam) and London. This great drama is based on the true, terrifying story of Delia Ballmer.
Instead, we have Delia, who, to be honest, is not a very likable lady
Unlike many of these reality dramas, events or characters aren’t glossed over, or a dynamic character swoops in to save the day. She can be crass, rude, quick to express, and throw out insults — and that’s before she even meets John Sweeney.
It was simply WOW
However, Delia’s ordeal is so incredibly tragic that I was moved to tears many times and filled with anger and disgust at the attitude of the police and the justice system. Ann Maxwell Martin deserves an award for her outstanding performance.
This program is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth a watch
I sincerely hope that the police and judicial system have learned their lesson and that the victims are not treated like liars and criminals.
