Usually I switch off when these dramas come on , they are always so predictable and annoying.
But, for some reason , which I cannot explain , this one has me gripped !
Perhaps it is Aidan Turner's character , he is brilliant in this , I cannot figure if he is guilty or not !
I find myself bemused at times by the lead detectives attitude , he is like a dog with a bone , and it is a bit odd that he is not willing to investigate other avenues and suspects , when , clearly there is evidence to suggest that it could very well be someone other than Dr. O'Loughlin.
So to sum up , Its all a bit bonkers , but strangely addictive !

I watch a lot of crime and drama TV shows and I've got to say this, the pair of detectives investigating this case has to be the worst pair of detectives I've seen in my life.
They show no regard for the truth and actual events and their only mission is to fit whatever happens into their narrative, no matter how stupid and far fetched their theories actually are. Last few episodes are so painful to watch because they are few steps behind literally every single time. This is just horrible police work and extreme incompetence. Not believable at all.
It's hard to focus on the rest of the show when these two play such a big part in it.

The show is compulsive viewing, even if by the third episode you can work out the plot. A lot of reviewers are complaining are about the characters of the two detectives. They are unrealistic and really hope real detectives are nothing like them. But it does make the show a little unbelievable that the police fail to notice so many clues about who the real killer is, right until the end. The actors playing the cops had to work with the material they were given, so a little unfair to judge their acting abilities based on this, as other reviews have done.
All in all a great show and must watch!

The police in this drama are beyond ridiculous. I found myself yelling at the tv screen, I know embarrassing right? The writers of this complete pile of garbage should be embarrassed. Aiden Turner was the only redeeming feature, I could watch that guy read Scientific American for 8 straight hours. He deserves a better acting gig than this! The DI and the DS were so ... so I'm struggling to find an adjective here that isn't horrible to describe them both ! The DI in particular how in the world would THAT guy get into that position of authority? If you're an Aiden Turner fan you'll be like me and watch it. But don't say you weren't warned.
REVISED!!! Episode 5 was worth every bit of aggravation caused by episodes 1-4 ! If you can make it through to the last episode you won't regret it. Every actor in this episode was stellar INCLUDING the DI and DS. I was crying my eyes out during the reveal. As I always say to my hubby when I spout off .... Sorry I blew up ;)

Psychologist Doctor Joseph O'Loughlin rescues a man's life, despite suffering with Parkinson's, but Joe goes from hero to villain, as he's suspected of murder.
We seem to be having something of a purple patch for drama once again, The Suspect is another cracking watch. A very watchable, well paced give part series.
Ok, so it's not the most original show you're ever going to watch, and there is a degree of inevitably about it, but despite that, it's good, it's very good. The first episode is an edge of the seat, nail biter, it serves to grab your attention, similar sort of vibes to The Bodyguard, I don't mean the story or cast, but the big drama of it. The final episode was excellent also, it was very satisfying.
A bearded Aidan Turner is excellent, for me though it was Bobby Schofield who stole the show, the pair were fantastic throughout.
Well made, well produced, it was visually very appealing. I'd happily watch it again.
8/10.
