The Suspect S1
Based on Michael Robotham's bestselling novel, The Suspect stars Empire Award winner Aidan Turner (aka Ross Poldark, Kili in The Hobbit trilogy, and Glenn Lapthorn in Fifteen-Love) as clinical psychologist Dr Joseph O'Loughlin.
With a devoted family, a successful practice, a publishing deal and hero status in the media, Joe’s life seems near perfect. But even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling …
When the body of a young woman is found in a shallow grave in a West London cemetery, veteran police officer Vince Ruiz (BAFTA nominee Shaun Parkes from Small Axe) and his young partner Riya Devi (Anjli Mohindra from Vigil) call on Joe’s expertise to help them understand her disturbing death. But it soon emerges that Joe is closer to the case than anyone imagined.
In their 4-star review, The Guardian said, “Aidan Turner cranks the creepiness up to 11 in [this] fun, sadistic thriller.”
Turner was nominated for Best Actor for the role at the Irish Film and Television Awards. The five-episode series also stars BAFTA winner Sian Clifford (Fleabag’s Claire).
