There is not just one James Nesbitt, but many James Nesbitts. There is a cheeky charming Nesbitt from an annoying golden page ad and a romantic comedy drama Cold Feet, ready with a sparkle and smile / smile in his eyes.
Well, except for his time Cold feet His wife (Helen Baxendale) was tragically killed in a car accident. Not the smile / smile seen in that particular non-glittering zone, I can tell you. Ohno.
Manic, deliberately over-the-top Nesbit Jekyll, And a tough, steel-eyed Nesbit from the undercover cop thriller Murphy’s law.
Then there is a Nesbit that some of us like best: Bloody Sunday Incident, Occupation, 5 Minutes of Heaven Outstanding first season with Missing, The actor’s anguished face filled the memorable screen and ended.
Frankly, I’ll pick up one of these Nesbits — yes, even the ones on the nasty Golden Page — on top of Nesbits we’ve seen too much in recent years.
This is Nesbit Babylon, nearby, Bloodland and now Suspect (Channel 4 / All 4). In all of these series, he plays a policeman. Nesbitt has always been versatile (I’ve been saying for years he’s underestimated and deserved), but no reservations about indulging in this dangerous conflict with the cast. It doesn’t seem to be.
Like his fellow Barimina man 5 minutes in heaven Co-star Liam Neeson seems happy (strange) Derry Girls For the rest of his film career (apart from Cameo), to play an indestructible pension-era hero in a challenging, interchangeable action film where he can wear a high-paying leather jacket. , Nesbitt seems happy to be the go-to man for the TV police.
Ghost cop. Sad policeman. Emotionally hurt policeman. Angry policeman. Violent policeman. Distressed policeman. Corrupt police officer.
In 8 parts Suspect, Nintendo’s cop, DS Danny Freighter, unfolding every night in a 30-minute episode that begins on Sunday and ends tomorrow, is a combination of some of the above, as there are many dark tweets about his past actions. There is a possibility.
But most of the time, he’s just a bloody rage. He rages from one place to another, and from one famous guest performer to another. Each episode has a different one, each pointed at the face camera, Who do you think you are? Style, opening title.

Danny cross-examines, threatens, barks, blinds with F, and sometimes engages in a bit of physical assault.
Suspect, Adapted from the Danish series called Forhøret, Is a unique product that starts with the premise of a duffer and then becomes a duffer. In a regular phone call about Jane Doe, who appeared to pathologist Jackie (Joely Richardson), Danny found that a young woman on the slab was none other than his estranged daughter Christina (Imogen King). discovered. She was gay.
It was suicide, says Jackie, who is unusually sly and wisely avoiding pathologists. It was a murder that pretended to be suicide, Danny says. But all the physical signs indicate suicide, Jackie says. I don’t care, says Danny. Danny tells Jackie to cut open his daughter and look a little deeper. For real.
Part of the dialogue is really terrible, so I’m paraphrasing it here. Danny, who appears to be carrying enough personal luggage to cover Ryanair’s charges, eventually calms down or rather pretends to be him. He is still boiling inside.

All episodes of Suspect In essence, it’s a step-by-step hand between Nesbitt and the guest performer who plays a person associated with Christine. To be fair, it’s a pretty impressive list of names. Besides Richardson and Miller, there are Nearf Alger, Antonia Thomas, Sacha Dhawan, Sam Heughan, Richard E. Grant and Anne-Marie Duff.
