This is a very well done thriller. It really captures the workings of the psychopathic mind. The performances are all great. Jack Rowan deserves an award for the charming and sinister, Sam. Romola Garai is great as the mother, slowly realizing her son is a monster. Daniel Mays and Lara Peake also turn in quality performances.The direction and story are tight and keeps you wondering what will happen up to the last minutes of the series. 'Born to Kill' doesn't fall for any psycho-killer cliches, either. It's the story of a burgeoning serial killer and though the situations are tense they remain natural. This is not movie story writing. This is allowing the events to unfold as they would. If you like thrillers that have the feel of True Crime, you will really like this limited series. Highly recommended.

The teenagers in this were perfect, totally 3 dimensional and realistic to their circumstances. It doesn't feel plot line convenient that they were friends solely down to the way they interacted together.Could've done with a 5th final episode though just to give more substance to the final drama.

It's a slow burner, but stick with it! You'll be swept along on a wave of anticipation and prickly evil Superb casting melancholic music and demonic lighting create an atmosphere of swirling impending threat. The acting is spot on, and the camera work deserves recognition, it's a great piece of work. Can't wait for the finale!

Jack Rowan delivers an astonishing performance and has commanding presence. He posses heartthrob looks and an intriguing ability to sell this character's treachery and quirks. What an amazing feat for a young talent.Romola Garai is surprisingly convincing in this role that is 10 years older than she is. Her character compartmentalizes and as situations become overwhelming, Garai keeps the lid on the melodrama and cuts to the heart of her character.The title is so very on-the-nose and unfortunate. The show itself is an incredible journey into troubled psychology masked by teenage angst and turmoil.
