Suspect

This show is terrible. Every episode is the same Meets up with a suspect, beats them up, gets info out of them then moves on too the next episode and does the same thing. Meet, beat, repeat.

This looks like a bad comedy. Poor storyline, poor acting and dull generally. I usually love a good murder mystery but this doesn't got the spot. Either Ann Marie Duff's acting isn't great or it's brilliant but her character is really annoying. Either way, it's not for me. I have to write a review with 600 or more characters but it's really difficult because I don't know what to write, all I can say is don't bother watching it. That's my recommendation! Each episode is only 30 minutes long which I don't understand either. I'm so writing inanely because I can't post the review, don't bother watching it, there are much better series out there.

But I am mesmerised by JN incredibly dark eyebrows, they give him the look of Ming the merciless and Griff Rhys Jones!

I am enjoying his portrayal of burnt out policeman grieving the death of his daughter and the mystery of her life!

Down on his luck Detective Danny Frater attends the mortuary to see a young woman, in a tragic twist the young woman is known to him.

I thought the first episode showed a little promise, it was intriguing premise, it boasted a first rate cast, and offered a different setup, 8 twenty five minute episodes, on paper, this should have been great.

Sadly, it just isn't that good, so much potential, but it's repetitive, it's a little dull, and it really is hampered by the restrictions that were clearly in practice at the time.

Episodes one through to seven follow pretty much the same format, chat, accusation, link to the next person of interest, the finale tries to offer something different, for me, it didn't work.

Some decent acting, Nesbitt is always good value, Sacha Dhawan and Richard E. Grant are both good, but their efforts feel wasted. Not one single character, with maybe the exception of Susannah, is likeable or easy to relate to, most of them are loathsome.

I wish I could come up with more positives, I really did want to like this, I just found it so dull.

5/10.

I've watched 4 episodes so far but I am struggling with it as I am feeling quite bored. I want to continue as I like James Nesbitt in most things, but there is something about this that stops it from holding my attention and I've probably missed some key dialogue in the fourth one by only half concentrating on it.

I am sticking with it because I want to see Sam Heughan, who I love in Outlander, but that is really now the only reason I'm not giving up on it.
