A detective is convinced that a serial murderer may be at large following the discovery of a schoolteacher’s body in Brighton. The suspicion deepens after human remains are uncovered in a nearby field, suggesting a possible connection between the two grisly findings.

"Looking Good Dead" is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls within the crime‑drama genre and follows the conventions of a typical investigative narrative, focusing on a particular case that unfolds over the course of its runtime. The story opens with the discovery of a schoolteacher’s body in the coastal city of Brighton. Shortly afterwards, investigators uncover a separate set of human remains in a nearby field. These two grim findings serve as the catalyst for the episode’s central mystery. A detective assigned to the case interprets the two discoveries as potentially linked, leading him to suspect that a serial killer may be operating in the area. He pieces together the evidence, considering the proximity of the locations and the nature of the victims, and concludes that the killings could be part of a larger, ongoing pattern rather than isolated incidents. The episode proceeds to follow the detective’s efforts to verify his theory, tracing the connections between the Brighton death and the field remains. Throughout, the narrative concentrates on the investigative process, the mounting suspicion of a serial offender, and the implications for the community as the possibility of a hidden predator is explored.
