Tense scenes and shocking moments
Viewers of ITV's dark new real-life drama "Until I Kill You" have admitted they have been left traumatised by the programme. The second episode of the show, starring actress Anna Maxwell Martin, had viewers on the edges of their seats with its tense scenes.
A chilling escape and viewers' reactions
The series dramatises Delia Balmer's real-life near-fatal relationship with the infamous Scalp Hunter killer. Anna plays the role of Delia in the programme, which chronicles the violent and controlling relationship she has with John Sweeney, based on true events. Amid the scary and shocking nature of the programme, some viewers were left issuing a major complaint after Delia finally managed to escape the flat where she had been held against her will.
Viewer reactions and criticism
Viewers were left calling out two scenes which followed Delia's escape, with some questioning her decision to grab a bicycle before fleeing. Some viewers insisted that Delia should have headed straight to the police as soon as she managed to break free from her captor.
Real-life events behind the drama
In reality, Sweeney began a relationship with Delia in 1991, holding her hostage for four days after she became suspicious of him. Delia managed to escape, prompting Sweeney to go on the run. Sweeney's victims included his former girlfriend Melissa Halstead and mother-of-three Paula Fields. Unlike other true-crime dramatisations, "Until I Kill You" focuses on Delia's experience with the killer instead of Sweeney's perspective.
