Pembrokeshire Murders: Why did viewers defend Luke Evans?

Speaking to her co-stars, Janet said: “For it to work, the lead character has got to have depth to them. They’ve got to have faults.

“One of the problems I had with it, is that the leading man – played by Luke Evans – had all the charisma of an ironing board. He was wooden.”

Furthermore, she continued: “Too many dramas – not necessarily this one as it’s based on real life – focus on serial killers that target women.”

However, ITV viewers failed to agree with Janet as one said: “Not sure what she’d know about charisma.”
