The Suspect

[48k]

Can't see a thread for this so mods please close/merge if I've goofed.

Anyway, been watching on catch up so I've seen all 3 of 5 that have been broadcast so far. I nearly didn't stick with it after the opening minutes of the first episode - a doctor being winched down the outside of a building to talk to a man threatening to jump??? Puh-lease.

Despite a few cliches (why is it only in films/TV that a woman comes down in the morning wearing a mans shirt? Everyone knows she'd have her PJs on) it seems to pass the time quite reasonably, although by the end of episode three it feels like the "did he / didn't he" aspect has gone and now it's a case of "how does he convince the police he's innocent".

7/10

Seen two out of 3 that have been shown so far. It's good enough to make sure we'll stick with it to the end, then probably be forgotten about after the finale quite quickly, but then that's like much of TV these days.

Stuck with it to the end. Actually turned out to be better than I thought it was going to. Would recommend it.

Agreed, it turned out to better than I thought it was going to be after the 1st episode.

Just finished watching this, reasonably good script and some strong acting by most of the cast.

However, whoever thought the main detective (black guy with the glasses) was a good actor needs to have a long talk with themself. Utterly abysmal.
