Dispensing death from the spout of a teapot, Mary Ann Cotton (Joanne Froggatt, Downton Abbey) was a prolific arsenic poisoner in Victorian England, claiming more victims than her famous male counterpart, Jack the Ripper. Dark Angel dramatizes the events that drew a troubled woman into a career of casual murder, while her loved ones and friends-who were also her victims-never suspected a thing.
