Suspect

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!

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.

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.

Suspect has an unusual format with 30m episodes that are essentially two handers between detective Danny, (James Nesbitt) and a different character each week that he believes will bring him closer to the murderer.

Its a straight remake of a 2019 Danish Noir,' Forhoret' which had two seasons and it keeps the dark tone of the original.

On the positive side production values were good and a lovely score by Stefano Cabrera helped a lot. The major draw was the cast and the format allowed the big names the chance to show off their acting chops.

Unfortunately it was let down by the uninspired script, there were a lot of improbabilities in the story, (detective investigates his own daughter's murder?) some of the dialogue was downright odd and the two handers made it one-paced. Nor did we get to know the daughter except for brief and often inaudible flashbacks. I watched four and gave up.

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.
