The Suspect (2022– )
6/10
Shame about the coppers
20 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Some aspects of this series are gripping, with generally good acting and plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep us guessing. So I will be sticking with it to see how it turns out.

But the whole series is severely compromised by the way the two leading detectives are written. They are portrayed as completely blinkered so neither of them will even consider other possible scenarios. I find it totally unbelievable that they wouldn't at least discuss possible alternatives between the two of them but they are absolutely fixated on only one possible perpetrator. They also seem to ignore proper procedures whenever they feel like it. In the real world I'd hope they ended up facing a full investigation with the possibility of dismissal without pension.

I haven't read the book the series is based on so not sure whether the flaws are original or whether they crept in during the adaptation.
