    This turned out to be just "something to kill a little time." Acting was ok.VERY predictable. O'Loughlin "helps police?" It looked to me like he was the "suspect" more than the helper. It was just ok. A fairly decent waste of time.

    Moves along at a mad clip and stays just the right side of schlockiness, although it’s often the way with ITV popcorn thrillers that they lose the plot by episode three so we shall see what happens. Turner, sporting a lockdown beard and speaking in his own Irish accent, is suitably enigmatic in the lead role.

    Apart from the beard, The Suspect was a decent, intriguing tale, and Turner was highly convincing at being unconvincing.

    It is all great, well-acted fun – and shaping up very satisfactorily. It promises to be meaty enough to justify its five-part length. Turner does a particularly good job of holding the two possible sides of O’Loughlin.
