The story

Two estranged spouses — one a detective, the other a news reporter — vie to solve a murder in which each believes the other is a prime suspect.

What it’s like

Tense, cold and close-quartered, with the mood of a rainy evening spent inside with the lamps on and the door locked. The metadata points to a psychological crime thriller in miniseries form, adapted from a novel, where estrangement and suspicion do most of the work: two former partners circling each other through the same investigation, each certain the other is hiding something. Expect a slow-burning, dialogue-heavy pace that tightens as the stakes sharpen, with a register of grief, marital resentment and quiet paranoia rather than spectacle. Themes of bereavement, dementia, long-held cruelty and revenge run beneath the procedural surface, so the emotional weather is heavy and wounded. Murder is central, and the thriller tension carries real menace, so this is not a gentle watch; the brutality is likely to be present but its exact intensity is not something this description can vouch for. It suits viewers who want a grown-up, character-driven mystery where the puzzle is personal, and who are comfortable sitting with bitterness, unreliable loyalties and a sustained sense of unease.
