Martin Wells is in prison, waiting to be charged for killing his wife, the trouble for him, is that time is moving backwards, his only chance is to convince Scully and Doggett that he's sincere.
Once again, I find myself impressed by another high quality episode from Series 8.
Spider's webs galore, when I initially saw the spider at work in the opening credits, I had a feeling if it was there, to quite literally explain to viewers that a complex web was being spun...
Very much the case, Redrum is a twisted, complex and imaginative episode. It's a plot device that has been used on other shows, but here it's well executed, and it's done in a way that keeps you glued to the screen, for fear of missing a vital piece of evidence.
Joe Morton is excellent here as Wells, he truly does lead the episode, with Scully and Doggett almost incidental. Morton is a well known actor, one who's made some excellent performances over the years, this one is particularly memorable.
My only issue, why did Doggett not remember his conversations with Wells?
Very good episode, 8/10.
