'Incredibly addictive' crime drama starring Hollywood legend finally made free to stream by ITV - as fans rave over twists that 'constantly keep you guessing'
ITV has recently acquired 'dark, driving, and addictive' drama Suspicion, making it available for non-Apple TV viewers for the first time.
The show was hailed as complex and unique for its genre, and sports an impressive cast, starring Hollywood royalty, Uma Thurman.
It follows the story of four British citizens who get wrapped up in a criminal investigation after the son of a wealthy American business mogul (Thurman) is kidnapped from the hotel they are staying at.
As they find themselves in a transatlantic cat-and-mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted.
Aside from A-Lister Thurman, the cast includes Elizabeth Henstridge (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory), Georgina Campbell (The Pale Horse, Black Mirror) and Lydia West (It's a Sin, Big Mood).
In 2022, Suspicion went somewhat under the radar, due to Apple TV's comparatively smaller subscriber count than other platforms.
However, some fans who did stream the series in 2022 noted its perceptiveness and attention towards modern-day social issues.
It has also been praised for its fast-paced, captivating storytelling style, with one reviewer highlighting the refreshing complexity of the series: 'It's a nice change not to be spoon-fed the plot but actually have to use your brain.'
Despite commendations for its complexity, some found the show's exposition to be too lengthy and convoluted, concluding it to be lacking in substance.
'Suspicion is a show consistently filled with incident, it can sometimes trick you into thinking it is complex' said one reviewer.
Another echoed their frustrations: 'The show sends you down a rabbit hole full of confusing events that don't make sense.'
But an opposing view disputed that, penning 'This isn't a bad thing at all; it makes Suspicion feel new and different from other investigative thrillers.'
A glowing, five star review gushes: 'An incredibly addicting series in a genre that often disappoints!
'The character proves to be a strong point for sticking around as their depth and complexity keep you guessing.'
The critical reception replicates the two interpretations of the show, with a mixed bag of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and a score of 48%.
ITV certainly recognises Suspicion as being worth reanimation, as they invite UK audiences to form their own opinion on the thought-provoking whodunnit.
Suspicion is set to arrive on UK screens in just under a month's time - it will be available to stream on ITVX from June 15th.

Historic Arnos Vale Cemetery damaged by vandals
Members of the public are being asked to "remain vigilant" and report suspicious activity after a historic graveyard was destroyed by vandals. Arnos Vale Cemetery Trust in Bristol said a total of seven graves were damaged, with Victorian marble headstones toppled over and stonework smashed. The boiler room and crypt of the Anglican Chapel, a Grade II*-listed building, were also broken into and sustained significant damage in the trust said it may have to consider adding more security measures to the site including overnight staff and additional CCTV. The graves in Arnos Vale Cemetery date back to 1839, with the first burial recorded in July of that cemetery was designed to provide a more spacious and sanitary burial ground, compared to the overcrowded parish graveyards of the a statement, the trust said: "This vandalism has understandably caused concern to everyone that cherishes Arnos Vale Cemetery as a place of remembrance, reflection, and heritage."Acts of vandalism place additional pressure on limited resources, and divert funds away from day-to-day maintenance and conservation work across the cemetery and its listed buildings."As a registered charity, the team relies on public support and donations to care for the historic site. The cemetery remains open 24 hours a day, serving as a vital pedestrian route and green space for local people. The charity said it remains "committed to maintaining this open access", but repeated incidents may lead to the trustees "reviewing these arrangements".CEO Ann Fiddler said: "We are grateful for the continued support and ask everyone to remain vigilant and report any signs of new damage to the graves or the site."Together we can ensure the protection and conservation of this unique place for generations to come."Your eyes and support can make a real difference in protecting this special place."

Trump is right to protect American citizens. We should protect ours
Sometimes the best policies are the ones that produce the shrillest wails from the Left. Such may be the case with Trump's latest travel ban, which by rights should spark serious soul-searching in Britain. Overnight, the President announced restrictions on the citizens of 12 countries. This was a response to the recent terror attack on Boulder, Colorado, in which an Egyptian national, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is alleged to have thrown firebombs and sprayed burning petrol at a Jewish vigil on Sunday in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Although Egypt is not on the list, Homeland Security officials said Mr Soliman was in the country illegally, having overstayed a tourist visa, but that he had applied for asylum in September 2022. So far, so Trumpian. (He took similar measures during his first term, after all, and they were repealed by Joe Biden who called them 'a stain on our national conscience'.) But then came the kicker. 'We will not let what happened in Europe happen in America,' Trump said. Ouch. If the months of Trump 2.0 have so far shifted the Overton window across the West, allowing even the likes of Sir Keir Starmer to contemplate – at least rhetorically – tackling immigration, then such a travel ban should be welcomed on these shores as well. Already, the usual suspects are accusing Trump of being 'racist'. But a glance at the range of countries on the list shows that this is not a question of race, or even religion. Rather, it is a question of homeland security, and that holds a stark lesson for Britain. A few months back, official data revealed that though foreigners comprise just 15 per cent of the population of our country, they commit 41 per cent of all crime and up to a quarter of sex crimes. In the first nine months of 2024, almost 14 per cent of grooming suspects were Pakistani, five times their share of the population. Two nationalities – Afghans and Eritreans – were more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens, according to the data. Overall, foreign nationals were 71 per cent more likely than Britons to be responsible for sex crime convictions. Based on convictions per 10,000 of the population, Afghans with 77 convictions topped the table with a rate of 59 per 10,000, 22.3 times that of Britons. They were followed by Eritreans, who accounted for 59 convictions at a rate of 53.6 per 10,000 of their population. In March 2025, data from the Ministry of Justice revealed that foreigners, who claim £1 billion a month in benefits, were also responsible for large proportions of violence, robbery, fraud and drug offences, between 2021 and 2023. There was no data for terrorism offences or acts of anti-Semitism. But does anybody want to hazard a guess? Which brings us to a fundamental question. Why? Why does Britain need to allow the criminals of the world to come to our shores to abuse women and girls, run criminal enterprises, foster terrorism and anti-Semitism, and claim benefits in the process? Obviously not all foreigners from these countries behave in this way. But facts aren't racist. Large numbers are pulling down our pants, spanking our buttocks and pulling them up again. In fact, the problem is not one of race but one of politics and culture. In my new book, Never Again? How the West Betrayed the Jews and Itself, which is coming out at the end of September, I look at groundbreaking research published in April by cognitive scientists Scott Barry Kaufman and Craig Neumann. They found that 'citizens in democratic countries have more benevolent traits, fewer malevolent traits, and greater well-being' than those living under autocratic regimes. Based on a study of 200,000 people from 75 countries, people living under autocracies were found to be much more likely to exhibit the 'Dark Triad' of negative personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. In democracies, by contrast, more people displayed the 'Light Triad' of humanism, faith in humanity and 'Kantianism', or treating people with dignity in their own right rather than viewing them as a means to an end. Obviously, this is not related to race. Russians are hardly black, but they hardly live in a democracy either. It is a case of cognitive development. The problem occurs when, in an age of global travel, 'Dark Triad' migrants who grew up in despotic regimes encounter gullible 'Light Triad' officials in the democracies, whose empathies are easily played upon. That is why we find British judges ruling that an Albanian convict should avoid deportation because his son had an aversion to foreign chicken nuggets, a Pakistani drug dealer could stay so he could teach his son about Islam, and a paedophile of the same nationality should not be sent home since it would be 'unduly harsh' on his own children. These real-life cases, reported by the Telegraph, provide a clear collision of the 'Dark Triad' traits in the criminals and the 'Light Triad' tendencies in the judges. It is a chemical reaction waiting to happen, and the vast majority of the population, wherever they are born, are suffering the consequences. In other words, we are being taken for fools. No foreign criminal has a God-given right to set up home in Britain just because he fancies it. This is our home, and although we are delighted to welcome strangers, that generosity should be withdrawn from those who nick our television and threaten our children – even if their own happen to like the chicken nuggets in our fridge. Trump has now thrown down the gauntlet. What is the British Government going to do to set our own house in order? Will it take an anti-Semitic outrage like the firebombing in Colorado before the Prime Minister takes action? Will he take action even then?

Patsy Kensit breaks silence on EastEnders role and begs for a soap return after confessing it was her ‘dream job'
ACTRESS Patsy Kensit has confessed she is desperate to return to EastEnders and has already begun thinking of ways her character could return. The TV and film legend stunned fans when it was revealed that she would be joining the cast of the BBC soap opera as the estranged mother of Lola Pearce. 4 4 Patsy played Emma Harding, who had a rocky relationship with her daughter but attempted to reconnect with her amid her harrowing terminal brain tumour battle. Now, in an interview with The Sun, Patsy has admitted she would love a soap comeback after revealing that EastEnders was her "dream job" and a career highlight. Speaking on the red carpet of this year's British Soap Awards, Patsy revealed: "Soap is something that I love and I loved my time at Emmerdale and my 4 years at Holby City but then I went into EastEnders. "EastEnders was actually my dream job, I've wanted to be in that show for years. "If I could throw a wish out there it would be that Emma could come back to see Lexi [her granddaughter]." Airing her thoughts on a possible return storyline, Patsy added: "There could be some conflict or tension and there are a million possibilities. "The writers are amazing at what they do and yeah I'm just putting it out there!" She continued: "Everyone is at the top of their game [on EastEnders]. "They are the hardest working people in the business and everyday I learned something and so had to embrace the opportunity." Emma arrived in Albert Square when she was tracked down by Phil Mitchell ahead of Lola's then-impending wedding to Jay. EastEnders star Tameka Empson breaks silence on 'intense' Celebrity Traitors Although Emma initially turned down the chance of a re-connection, she eventually learned of her daughter's shock diagnosis after seeing it in one of Lola's many vlogs. It saw her check-in on her daughter from afar, including donating money anonymously. Emma later confessed all to Billy Mitchell in which she admitted she was forced to flee from Lola's life after suffering horrific abuse at the hands of Lola's father - including being scolded with boiling water. Whilst Lola and Emma eventually reconnected in brief, they were left fragile and Emma was not around as her daughter passed away. She was last seen as she quietly attended the funeral before slipping away once again. So could Emma make a much-wanted comeback two years on to attempt to build a bond with Lexi? The British Soap Awards air on ITV tonight at 8pm. 4 4
