Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The series deliberately sidelines Brady to focus on female complicity, a choice that angered some victims' families but created a more complex portrait of evil's banality.
Maxine Peake prepared by refusing to judge Hindley, instead studying her class aspirations and how Brady exploited her social climbing.
