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

Metro22-05-2025

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. 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'.'

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

Gary Lineker nicked my job at the BBC and we haven't spoken in 20 years

Steve Rider has been left unimpressed by Lineker's career with the Beeb which came to an end earlier this year Steve Rider has acknowledged that he hasn't spoken to Gary Lineker for a long time and harbours resentment over being replaced by the ex-Match of the Day host for BBC golf coverage. Rider, who's embarking on retirement after 45 years in national television, including recent work on ITV4's British Touring Car Championship, has been an iconic figure in sports broadcasting. His extensive career includes coverage of major events such as Olympic Games, Rugby World Cup, F ormula One - notably Ayrton Senna's tragic accident at Imola - and the Champions League working with both ITV and BBC. ‌ Beginning his career at ITV, Rider switched to the BBC where he served nearly two decades before heading back to ITV in 2005. While at the BBC, Rider was the principal golf presenter, covering prestigious tournaments like the Ryder Cup, the Open and the Masters. ‌ His departure saw a surprising choice in former England footballer Lineker to become the new face of BBC golf, which disappointed Rider substantially. It wasn't until 2015, following Lineker's controversial comments labelling the RandA 'pompous' and suggesting they saw themselves as 'superior beings', that Rider decided to publicly voice his opinions, reports the Mirror. Speaking to the Golf Paper, Rider gave his blunt assessment: "I hold Gary Lineker in the highest regard as a football presenter, but his reflections on his experiences as a golf presenter need a huge reality check. "For four years, the RandA and most other observers knew that Gary was the wrong man in the wrong job. Hazel Irvine has just delivered once again at the Open presentation skills of the highest quality. Not many people can do that and Gary certainly came up short. "Roger Mosey, the head of sport, knew Gary was a golf fanatic and was further encouraged by Gary apparently volunteering for the Masters vacancy within a few minutes of my exit from Television Centre. ‌ "But if Mosey thought long and hard before offering Gary the golf job, it's even more baffling. Match of the Day is scripted and rehearsed. Golf presentation, especially at Augusta, is seat of the pants, unpredictable and demanding." Rider hasn't spoken to Lineker since then, as reported by The Telegraph. Now the 75 year old has given his opinion on Lineker's recent departure from the BBC. Lineker hosted his last Match of the Day programme last month. He was anticipated to leave next year, after the World Cup, but his exit was pushed forward following an Instagram post criticising Zionism, accompanied by an image of a rat. Lineker has claimed he wasn't aware of the historical context of rats being used to portray Jews in anti-Semitic imagery. "To put forward his opinions so energetically, you need to step outside the framework of the BBC," Rider asserts. "That message was never convincingly conveyed to him by the BBC, and that's where they are at fault. He needed people looking after him before he pressed the button on some fairly volatile retweets. "He needed to be saved from himself. So, there was a kind of inevitability about it."
