We're slightly in Pushover territory again (and, by extension) Stakeout. Hmm. Must watch Stakeout again. Noel Clarke is the surveillance expert - expert? I question that because in the very first episode he lets his camera battery run out when a proper expert would have been on mains power. Anyway, the surveillance semi-professional is staked out in Alexandra Roach's Manchester flat, and you see where that might be going.
We know her from Killing Exe, Sanditon, No Offence, Utopia, Cuban Fury, Anna Karenina and other TV shows.
Written by Harry Bradbeer (a Killing Eve and Fleabag director), Ed Whitmore, Tom Farrelly. Not sure it's the greatest title. With Kila Lord Cassidy (daughter), Sarah Niles (good as DCI), Phil Davies.
In the end it's not the obvious suspects at all. The ending is downbeat.
While it was screening on ITV over five nights, a story broke in The Guardian that many people had come forward accusing Clarke of sexual assault and bullying. The final part was thusly relegated to streaming only, whilst BAFTA stripped him of his recent award for Contribution to Cinema.
