Explore the tightly controlled world of Broadmoor, where patients live under extreme security while working and rebuilding fragments of their lives. Discover the stories of patients confronting crime, mental illness, guilt, identity, and the difficult path toward recovery.
Ep 1:
Behind Broadmoor's Walls: Monsters, Myths and Madness
We step inside Broadmoor's Victorian past, unravelling the myth of the monster to reveal a brutal history of asylums, barbaric "cures," and the blurred line between victim and villain.
Ep 2:
Victims Who Became Monsters
From Powell's failed vision of empty asylums to the locked doors of Cranfield Ward, we meet the nurses who hold the line and the patients whose devastating pasts forged their violence.
Ep 3:
The Battle to Get Out
Inside Broadmoor's fiercest battleground—forced medication and the agonising, non-linear fight for freedom—we follow patients like Dylan and Anthony as they wrestle with recovery, setbacks, and the fragile hope of release.

Level 5 · 1 day agoDid you catch that Broadmoor staff won't even admit where they work at dinner parties? Just say NHS and move on. The institution has been keeping secrets for 150 years apparently and so have the people running it.
