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. [26 Sep - 9 Oct 2022, p.5]

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. Read full review

The great cast of Suspect saves the show from being a leaden disaster, but the story underpinning all that capital-A acting isn’t all that interesting. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Sep 23, 2022

Nesbitt and Joely Richardson deliver their lines as if they’re getting to grips with a foreign language. ... Introducing one suspect per half hour episode could work well in theory, if only the show was better. Read full review

Suspect isn’t good. It isn’t a compelling new addition to the British TV detective canon. In fact, the only thing convincingly mysterious about it, is its existence. Read full review

The Guardian Rebecca Nicholson

Sep 23, 2022

It is highly theatrical, and it has, oddly, the feel of early lockdown TV, when as much was done with as little as possible. ... I found the theatrics so heightened – Christina regularly appears to her father as a sort of shimmering clue from the afterlife – that by episode seven, it had lost me completely. Read full review

In a potentially uneven series, there may be some standout episodes (it’s hard to imagine Duff not being captivating) but so far, Suspect is both very serious and quite silly at the same time. Read full review
