Suspicion

Now if you enjoy slow shows with some action then this was ok. But by the end your wondering why what happened even happened. Also why the people did what they did in the first place. Because although everything was explained at the end you will didn't get why or for what was the whole reasoning behind it. The great reveal was a great let down. One of those "Why did I just watch all of these for this!?" kind of moments. The actors were just ok, I only liked Aadesh and will be looking for more shows with him in them. The whole story and set up just felt so fake. I could not enjoy getting lost in the series because it felt to illogical and forced! I have seen many series that are far more interesting and better at telling a story than this one. For me it is a hard pass but I did enjoy episode 4 out of them all of the episodes.

The quality cast to build tension and character from the scant script, at times chewing the scenery because there was such little meat in the plot. An elevator pitch probably sounded good - a commentary on truth in modern media through climate change and PR spin with a kidnapping twist. Execution of the idea was clumsy and, at times, nonsensical. Side quests took up screen time but went nowhere meaningful. The final episode of this mediocre show could have almost saved it with a shocking twist or revelation, but alas, we saw it coming. Rushed and poorly concluded plot points leave the viewer dissatisfied (eg how did X know Y? Does X ever go back home?). Ultimately the show suffers poor pacing throughout the season, frontloaded with filler and overwrought tension over minor matters then tied up in a hamfisted bow of unresolved threads.

And not for nothing - Uma Thurman has beautiful, natural hair. Either she has a terrible wig in this show or they need to blacklist the hairstylist for doing her so dirty. There's looking like a frumpy character on purpose, then there's having hair so bad it's distracting. This is the second.

The cast and acting is good but the story is really uninteresting. This started off like it would go somewhere but it gradually just grew boring to me. There are sooooo many British thrillers that are way better. I would recommend skipping this one.

The beginning was ok, the middle it started getting better, ..but the ending was the worst.. It started not to even make sence anymore in the last episode, to many loose ends and not really good explained stories.. Could have been very good, but it is almost as if they started with one writer and the ending was written by another who totaly not understood the storyline in the previous episodes.. Very disapointing!

The way the first season ended has ruined it, moreover the storyline could have been better developed to lead to such finale by making the audience wonder more about the suspects involvement in the kidnapping.

Feels like a missed opportunity to do something great since the cast is very good, as well as the filmography.
