ITV is about to release 'addictive' thriller that will keep you guessing
Is there anything better than a gripping thriller that takes your breath away at every suspenseful turn?
In the world of television, I'm not sure there is. And that's probably what executives at ITV are thinking as well after their decision to add Apple TV Plus series Suspicion to their roster.
Starring Pulp Fiction icon Uma Thurman, the eight-part series depicts five ordinary Brits who are accused of kidnapping the son of a prominent US media mogul.
As twists and turns are revealed throughout, the five embark on a desperate race against time in order to prove their innocence.
First released back in 2022, Suspicion has stayed fairly under the radar.
But now, as ITV get set to bring the series to their streaming platform on June 15, fans have praised the show's dramatic plot twists that will have you guessing right until the very end.
Writing on Rotten Tomatoes, Joly Herman from Common Sense Media said the series is: 'Dark, driving, and addictive, this thriller casts a keen eye on modern-day surveillance and social media.'
Brad Newsome, from the Sydney Morning Herald, also said on the reviewing platform: 'The pace remains quick but the action remains coherent… Quickly engrossing.'
Writing a google review, viewer David Samuel said: 'Brilliant series. Yes it's complicated at times, but that's the point, it's meant to be. It's a nice change not to be spoon-fed the plot but actually have to use your brain.
Ric Souza, also writing on Google, added: 'This was an outstanding suspense thriller with a superb cast. If you like your stories simple, with a tidy endings, Suspicion may not be for you.
'It is a master mystery thriller that leaves you with several final Suspicions as to who the true mastermind(s) are.'
However, it appears not all fans were equally as pleased with the direction the show took. In fact, many have expressed their disappointment in how it tailed off towards the end of the season.
Writing on Google reviews, Gillian Salmon said: 'Pros are this is well paced, suspenseful and initially seemed to build up to a solid thriller. More Trending
'The cast play their roles well, even the blissfully naïve and annoying ones. But the moments of promise fail to launch to a believable and satisfying conclusion.'
Seth, also writing on Google, said: 'The setup in the first couple of episodes was intriguing and got me hooked. Unfortunately, it takes a steep decline and by the time we get to the last episode, it's turned into complete garbage.'
Meanwhile, another critic on Rotten Tomatoes, Dustin Rowles, said: 'There's not enough substance or character development here to hold our attention beyond the time it takes to click 'NEXT'.'

GMB's Susanna Reid issues show update as she's flooded with support
Susanna Reid took to social media to share a big announcement about Good Morning Britain, prompting fans to share their support Susanna Reid has sparked a wave of support from Good Morning Britain viewers with an exciting update about the programme. The well-known presenter shared a significant milestone for the ITV morning show, where she regularly appears with Ed Balls and Richard Madeley. Taking to social media, Susanna revealed that GMB had reached its highest viewing figures of the year, noting this was their best performance since last year's election coverage. It comes on the back of the announcement that ITV is shaking up its daytime scheduling and the show will be on air for an extra 30 minutes daily. Riding high on this news, Susanna posted: "RATINGS! Good Morning Britain had its HIGHEST figures this year, peaking at almost 1 MILLION of you watching. Our highest ratings since last year's election special," complemented by a picture of her and co-host Ed. Underlining her gratitude, Susanna expressed: "Thanks to a great team and YOU the viewers!" Fans quickly took to the internet to express their congratulations and praise for both Susanna and the GMB team, reports the Manchester Evening News. One admirer shared: "Absolutely well done congratulations GMB brilliant team," while another added to the chorus of approval: "Top show, rarely miss it.. you know it's good when it winds up all the right people." A faithful viewer praised Susanna, remarking: "You have played a massive role in this @susannareid100! A journalist and tv presenter at the top of her game." Echoing the sentiment, another fan stated: "Well done Susanna. Always great broadcast with Susanna," and another message read: "You deserve it! Watching from France every morning since day one." Susanna's update comes after she had to clap back at a troll on X, after she rigorously questioned Robert Jenrick during a heated interview on GMB. Robert became a topic of intense social media discussion following a viral video where he confronted TFL commuters about fare evasion, with one man implying he was carrying a blade. Susanna zeroed in on this worrying incident involving a knife-wielding commuter while interviewing Richard and pressed him on his reaction to such a disturbing incident. Following her tough interview, a social media user tried to belittle Susanna by questioning her knowledge of public transport on X, asking, "When was the last time you got The Tube, Susanna? You, literally, have no clue what it's like." To which Susanna coolly replied with a succinct comeback: "I am currently on the tube." Her fans supported her sharp retort, with comments like: "Brilliant Susanna," and another fan cheering, "Love a good take down."

Noel Edmonds in huge ITV comeback with help of Mr Blobby in major move
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Noel Edmonds is set for a sensational return to our screens, and he's bringing his iconic sidekick Mr Blobby along for the ride. ITV is gearing up to air 'Noel Edmond's Kiwi Adventure' in the coming weeks, marking the veteran presenter's comeback to primetime television. The show will document how Noel, aged 76, embarked on a new chapter in New Zealand with his wife Liz after more than half a century on British TV. The series promises to give viewers an insight into Noel's ambitious project of creating New Zealand's inaugural energy garden and nurturing a nascent enterprise. Two years back, the couple acquired land near Ngatimoti, a quaint rural settlement, where they've established a hospitality venture at the community's core, complete with a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, and a pub and restaurant poised to welcome patrons for its second full season. In a freshly released trailer, Noel shares: "New Zealand is a great place to come to it's not the easiest place to set up a business. We're haemorrhaging money at the moment, what Liz and I wish to achieve is community." The surprise appearance of Mr Blobby in the footage prompts Noel to quip humorously: "You travel halfway round the world and he turns up!", reports the Mirror. Additionally, viewers are treated to a glimpse of his pub, dubbed 'The Bugger Inn', and a nostalgic Crinkley Bottom mug, harking back to his days as the host of 'Noel's House Party' on BBC. In March, whispers of the show began to circulate, drawing parallels with Jeremy Clarkson's programme, Clarkson's Farm, which is broadcast on Prime Video. However, Clarkson's Farm is now turning a profit, and it remains to be seen if Noel can ensure his venture is profitable amidst unseasonal bad weather and feelings of being an outsider. In 2018, Noel appeared on I'm A Celebrity and reportedly pocketed a £600,000 fee, along with the expectation that he could be one of the camp leaders for the duration of the series. However, in a shocking twist, Noel Edmonds was the first contestant to be voted off the show that year. Instead of pursuing further television opportunities, he relocated to New Zealand shortly afterwards to start afresh. Noel launched his broadcasting career as a host of Top of the Pops in the early 70s, later presenting the nineties favourite Noel's House Party alongside the much-loved Mr Blobby, and Deal Or No Deal.
