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.

‘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”.’

Suspicion will be available to watch on ITVX on June 15.
