Synopsis

Set in London, each episode is a self-contained story, starting with a news report, then following the team of three detectives as they investigate the circumstances the crime. The cases themselves are hard-hitting with contemporary themes, such as the search for a soldier with PTSD, a murder that has been made to look like an assisted suicide and the gang rape of a young teenager.

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
valstone52 I love this series, wish they could have made more seasons. As far as the swearing goes, not that much different from the programs on HBO Starz and other cable channels. Y always have a choice not to watch it. I think it's a great show and it not scripted.
Deckard555 For four seasons Suspects was a unique British criminal drama at It's best. No more. Instead it joins the contemporary blur by changing that unique concept to become just one more show… The major changes:1 why waste time on having to come up with a new case for every episode When you can run with the same one for seasons without end?2 Why keep the audience guessing in a new take on "whodunit" when you can reveal everything from the beginning, "Colombo-style" and skip the suspense!3 Why have criminals & police as distinct entities when everybody can be just as corrupt?To add insult to injury James Murray is cast as the new DCI, an "actor" that's as versatile as a cardboard figure.I don't know why Fay Ripley chose to leave this show but I have a good idea… I'm leaving too...
EdwardHayes1987 I absolutely love this show.The only thing I don't like, is the fact that Channel 5 mess around with the episodes and when they are shown. They commissioned 10 episodes for season 1, so they should have shown them in the order they were made. The 7 other episodes should have made up season 2.I did however like the change to 2-part stories. Would be better if they did them here and there in the series.Roll on more episodes!Any idea when season 4 is being shown?I can't wait much longer!
TheReviewPerson This won't be everyone's cup of tea. But it definitely is mine. Never before has there been a more convincing TV show, in terms of its plots, dialogue and characters, and this is largely down to its unscripted format and documentary-style filming. Naturally, there's never going to be award-winning artistic cinematography or Hollywood-esque dramatic lines, but that's what makes this show different. You get utterly transported into the working lives of the three detectives, as if you're a fourth party watching over their shoulder. With the exception of the first and second episodes of the second series, each episode has its own crime to be solved, meaning that there's no grand story arc to follow, and you can dip in and out of the series; missing an episode is no problem. It's also a breath of fresh air that there's no personal rubbish with the main characters. Sure, sometimes a case gets a little close to home on the occasion, and DI Martha Bellamy noticeably has pictures of her kids on her desk - little touches of believability like that - but other than that, the focus is on the plot and catching the criminal. As it should be.As someone who has grown up watching Poirot, Sherlock, and countless other crime-solving dramas, you'd think they'd have had enough making these things, but nevertheless the plots keep coming, and the plot twists in this show are actually unpredictable. You yourself are a detective, trying to thread the clues together alongside Jack, Martha and Charlie, and it's certainly a tense ride.I feel this show will 'revolutionise crime drama', as The Guardian has said. Although the format is foreign and takes a moment to get used to, it's something I don't regret watching. Well done, Channel 5.
