ITV is about to release 'addictive' thriller that will keep you guessing
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'.'

Having made her way to the fourth stage, performer Samantha had managed to bag herself £10,000 already and with less than 20 seconds on the clock, she was hoping to claw £25,000 by answering another puzzle. But for Samantha it proved tricky as she was left scrambling to come up with an answer. In the puzzle that stumped her, three characters could be seen with their backs against a brick wall and a shadow of their silhouette being clearly visible on the wall. But for the third character, he could be seen moving his own shadow around on a fishing rod. Samantha was expected to use this as a clue to get to her final answer.

Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history.

It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed.
