Suspects is a procedural crime drama, starring Fay Ripley, Damien Molony and Clare-Hope Ashitey. Suspects uses filming techniques and a directorial approach usually associated with factual programming, giving this series the unique ‘insider’ feel of a documentary. Set in London, Suspects focuses on a team of three detectives and their distinctive approaches to the job of policing. Each of the episodes tells a self-contained crime story – starting with a news report about the crime. We then follow the team of detectives as they investigate the circumstances of the crime, forensicate the crime scene, collate and analyse the evidence, and interview their suspects – until they finally identify and charge the perpetrator.
