Viewers were also touched by a tribute in the end credits, which paid respect to all those who lost their lives. It read: "To all the young intrepids who set out with big dreams. But never made it home."
"#TheSerpent Absolute stellar show and cast. Tahar and Jenna absolutely stole every scene they were in, such a fascinating and complex story told so well. Also, this final message made me a little choked up, not many ‘real life’ murder dramas do this but I’m glad this did," tweeted one viewer.

Another wrote: "This has been an extraordinary story to watch. Knowing that it's a real life story sent shivers down my spine. Well done to all involved in the making of the series. Herman Knippenberg is a hero for never giving up on this horrific true crime, to bring justice."
