My Thoughts
Suspects is an exciting crime drama set in modern day London. The series primarily centers around three detectives--Jack Weston, Martha Bellamy, and Charlie Steele. Each character has their own personality which sometimes leads to conflict, but for the most part, they are a team to be reckoned with. There are eight episodes in this two series set including:
Series 3, Episode 1 - An art teacher is killed by a handyman...or was she. Seems she had some dirt on the principle.
Series 3, Episode 2 - A woman is pulled from the Thames who was missing two years. She is burned, but alive. DNA tests lead to confusion and then another missing person shows up.
Series 3, Episode 3 - A petrol bomb injures a teen in his home. The attack could be the result of a love triangle.
Series 3, Episode 4 - A young girls is killed and some drunkards may have the only clues.
Series 4, Episode 1, AWOL - A man almost does something crazy to get help for his missing son, and the team takes on the case.
Series 4, Episode 2, Revenge - A cold case is reopened after a copy cat killing.
Series 4, Episode 3, Ricochet - A clergyman is shot in the middle of the day.
Series 4, Episode 4, Rough Justice - An old woman is attacked at home, but no one is willing to talk.
