David Tennant Stars As Serial Killer Dennis Nilsen In Limited Series “Des”

There are a lot of true crime fans, including myself. There are a lot of reasons why humanity is obsessed with serial killers and murders, be a it morbid curiosity or the desire to understand why they kill and what drives them. We often see films and series based on killers such as Charlie Manson, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dohmer, this time we will see the story of a lesser-known, but still deadly killer, Dennis Nilsen. A new limited series is coming to ITV that delves into Scottish killer and necrophile Dennis Nilsen who viciously took the lives of twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London.
