While not quite as intense as its first season, the second season of Suspect is still very watchable because of the well-paced half-hour episodes and a cast that can handle its tell-don’t-show storytelling.
-
Outlandish things can, and sometimes should, happen. But the scriptwriters Joy Wilkinson and David Allison have made parts of Suspect so melodramatic and shrill that there are moments when it feels like a Charlie Brooker-style satire on the genre. The loud, intrusive music also hinders rather than helps.
-
This muddled double bill gave little away. The next six episodes could be exciting and more focused, but from here, it's hard to understand why you’d stick around long enough to find out.
-
It has a hallucinatory quality. The film-makers might say that’s deliberate, but it feels more like a side-effect of how badly this thing has been put together.
