This is a taut and airless show that knows exactly how to build tension effectively (and stressfully). More importantly, its capable ensemble cast do well to establish distinct characters each experiencing their own individual nightmares – and inevitably prompt viewers to ponder how they might respond to this one.

Crossfire isn’t your typical ‘stripped across the weeknight’ drama. It can be harrowing and heart-wrenching and it asks you to consider all kinds of impossible questions about instinct, vengeance and self-sacrifice. But its intensity, anchored by Hawes’ brilliantly resilient performance, never fails to transfix.
