Helter Skelter

Aroview: A grimly rewarding TV docudrama about murderous hipster Charles Manson, played with screwy-eyed, whisper-voiced veracity by Jeremy Davies.

Focused firmly on the ingroup dynamics of the notorious 'Manson Family', rather than the police hunt that followed their slaughter of Sharon Tate and others in 1969, this sizzles with the uneasiness of Davies now acclaimed performance. Although based on the same book as the 1976 mini-series, this creates a much grislier depiction of events.
