Thorne is a television drama series which debuted on Sky1 in the UK on 10 October 2010. Based on Mark Billingham's novels, the six-episode serial stars David Morrissey in the title role of Detective Inspector Tom Thorne. Part one, Sleepyhead, follows Thorne, who, while investigating a series of attacks on young women, is dragged back into the nightmares of his past as he races to find a killer. Part two, Scaredycat, sees two women murdered within hours of one another near St Pancras station, but in different ways. When a connection is made with two other murders which occurred months before, but also on the same day, Thorne realises two serial killers may be in a macabre partnership.
A cold, methodical descent into the procedural dark, Thorne trades jump scares for slow-tightening pressure. The dread here is clinical and cumulative — bodies arranged with terrible intent, a detective whose own trauma bleeds into the case. It works on your nerves like damp seeping through a wall, quiet and inescapable.
