This is basically a remake of a 90s tv movie called "A Killing in a Small Town". Barbara Hershey was the star of that one, and it was palatable as a 2 hour movie....but this mini-series is dreadfully dull and predictable, kind of like watching a 5 hour "Dateline" episode. The acting is fine, the directing is fine, the sets and costumes are first class, but the whole thing is just one big snoozefest, sorry.
