Netflix has just added the first season of Suspect, the hit Channel 4 crime mystery show in which James Nesbitt (The Missing) leads an all-star cast.
Based on the Danish series Face to Face, Nesbitt stars as a veteran detective named Danny Frater who begins retracing the final steps of his estranged daughter, Christina (Imogen King, The Bay), prior to her mysterious death.
Each episode sees Danny interrogate someone who was in Christina's orbit.
Also appearing in season one of the show is Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters), Antonia Thomas (Misfits), Ben Miller (Armstrong and Miller), Joely Richardson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Niamh Algar (Calm with Horses), Richard E. Grant (Saltburn), Sacha Dhawan (The Great) and Sam Heughan (Outlander).
Enough of a hit that it was renewed for a second season that aired on Channel 4 just this summer - in which Duff took over as the series' lead - Suspect's episodes all clock in at under 25 minutes which should make it an easy binge-watch for viewers.
You can read some positive reviews of the show's first eight-episode season right here:
The Australian: "The impressive cast of this cop show turned psychological family drama will reel you in."
Radio Times: "Viewers expecting a more traditional crime thriller may well be thrown off by the theatrical feel of the series format, with a new pairing of actors each episode. But the show's central whodunnit and the short episode lengths (around 20 minutes each) both work in its favour."
TV Guide Magazine: "The nifty suspect list includes The Good Doctor's Antonia Thomas, Outlander's Sam Heughan and Ricard E. Grant, but it's Nesbitt who keeps you glued to the bitter, berserk end."
Suspect season one is streaming on Netflix and Channel 4's website. The show's second season is also available to watch on the latter.
