Season 1 Review: It’s the aftermath of Menezes’s death where Suspect excels. No detail is too small in its effort to exonerate him of his characterisation by the Met as a suspicious individual. Read full review

The TimesJames JacksonApr 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: Pope’s script hints incriminatingly at gaps in the story — specifically missing CCTV footage on the Tube on which de Menezes was shot — but is most effective when imagining the terse meetings behind closed doors. Read full review

The GuardianJack SealeApr 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: Suspect is an enraging picture of what went wrong and how. In his desire to explore every aspect of the case, Pope is as fair to the police as he reasonably can be. Read full review

The TelegraphAnita Singh Apr 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: Barring the half-hour or so covering de Menezes’s fateful journey that morning, the series fails to achieve high levels of dramatic tension. It feels more like a historical document, expository rather than gripping, made primarily to clear the victim’s name and assign blame for the bungled operation. Laudable, but not edge-of-your-seat TV. Read full review
