Suspects

On 5

A procedural crime drama with hard-hitting contemporary cases that prioritizes investigative rigor and social realism over reassurance or closure.

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.
