Tales of the Grim Sleeper (Sky Atlantic, 11pm)
This excellent documentary tells the story of a string of murders in Central Los Angeles over a span of 20 years. In 2010, police arrested Lonnie Franklin and charged with ten counts of murder, although it’s estimated he could have killed over 100 women. This film explores how he went undetected for so long and speaks to women who came into contact with him. One to record.
