Suspect

We have come to like James Nesbitt, whose face resembles a chunk of hard road that broke off & landed in a ditch. This show starts (it's no secret) with him as a cop visiting a morgue, greeted by an unenthusiastic lab tech and discovering the corpse under consideration is, in fact, his own daughter. I want to share a tidbit with you. Nesbitt thereupon tears up and lets out a grievous wail. Where does THIS come from?

Nesbitt, no doubt, borrowed the device from Lear- last Act when the aged King carries dead Cordelia in his arms. 'Howl howl howl howl.. O you are men of stones. Had I your tongues and eyes, I'd use them so heaven's vaults should crack.. ' (I think-- my high school Shakespeare is decades ago!). So, Nesbitt pulled this out of his hat! Lear is 'unactable', of course-- especially THAT scene! But Olivier and Finney have done clinics with their own interpretation. Nesbitt 'tries it on!' (Wondering if anyone would make the cinnection?)

The series may be a but slow, but Nesbitt always shines, if you stick with him. 7/10.

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!

A little slow at the start but I stuck with it and by episode 4, I was invested. I don't ever remember seeing a format like this but I think it worked and I didn't see the ending coming.

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.

One reviewer completely misses the point when criticising there generally only being 2 people in each episode. That's the premise of the show! It's a decent concept which clearly worked in covid times of filming. Give it a chance and ignore the low scores.
