9 December 2015

10pm - 11 pm

Channel 5

 

 

Synopsis

After linking the shooting of a popular clergyman to another recent drive-by shooting, the East London detectives begin to suspect that the reverendʼs son may know more about these incidents than he admits.

The investigation begins with the shooting in broad daylight of the Reverend Daniel Matthews (Dominic Coleman, ʻTrolliedʼ) outside the boxing club he runs for disaffected youths. There is no CCTV inside or outside the club, but witnesses report seeing a girl talking to the reverend shortly before the shooting. The girl is identified as Kelly Pearce, girlfriend of the reverendʼs son Aaron (William Jeffs, ʻAs the Bell Ringsʼ).

The detectives find Aaron at the hospital, waiting for news of his dad, but no sign of Kelly. A visit to the Pearce family flat fails to turn up Kelly or a gun, but Jack discovers that her mum Alma (Ivana Basic, ʻCasualtyʼ) relies heavily on prescription drugs, while her 12-year-old brother Sammyʼs (Raif Clarke, ʻBelieveʼ) extremely edgy behaviour indicates that he has something to hide.

Suspicion falls on Aaron as the team uncover a link between him and Joseph Brookes (Youssef Berouain), the prime suspect in the recent drive-by shooting of Victoria Summers. The reverend was in the area at the time of that shooting but denied having any information to help the police investigation. Was Aaron involved in either incident?

Events take an unexpected twist when Kelly Pearce walks into the police station and accuses the reverend of raping her brother Sammy during a boxing club outing. With the reverend refusing to cooperate with the police, and Aaron and Kelly contradicting each otherʼs stories, the detectives must pick their way through the lies to get to the truth…Channel 5

Another abused child. Jack is going to be on a war path with this one, understandably.  Which is how I like him.  #caped-crusader

Another incredible episode of Suspects tonight. Was gripped all the way through, it was so tense and it ended up being upsetting and emotional.

Harrowing, emotional, suspenseful, gripping, powerful. Not an easy subject matter or easy to watch but incredible drama. Stunning performances from Damien, Clare and Fay from beginning to end.

Tonight's episode has solidified something for me about why I admire this show so so much. It never takes the easy way out for entertainment, in every way, every time. From the way it written, created, performed, filmed, its format and the difficult and challenging subjects it tackles. The improv, the fly on the wall filming, the not going home with the detectives and self contained format. It takes the road less travelled every time. It truly does break boundaries and it stands in a unique class of its own. I hope the team feel proud that they have created something truly brave and authentic, totally underivative. They've not been tempted to compromise on their vision. I hope they never do because it is all those reasons that make it brilliant. A gem among all dramas. It may also be the reason it is undervalued in a world full of slick TV, where we're programmed into conventional delivery of well rehearsed lines being 'real' , rather than the gloriously spontaneous, sizzling unknown and anti slickness of improvised lines,  and a world where image quality is becoming hyper real, and everything is higher and higher definition, touched up brushed up, manicured... Suspects makes me realise I crave something else, and it delivers.
To use a music analogy, Suspects is the new vinyl!

Now THAT was a good episode. The progression of the story made sense and it wasn't gratuitously twisty turny. Actually funnily, this was the first time I predicted who the guilty one was.  It felt much more fast paced though, the first 10 minutes I could barely keep up with the dialogue and how fast the scenes cut into each other and at the end the hubby said it felt short.  This was definitely a S1 filmed one, it's the first time in a while that the shooting style was actually a bit distracting.  Lots of shots from farther away and visibly shaking camera. But as I said, I liked it much better than the last two. This backs up my musings that it's the writing I was feeling a bit disappointed in.

This one was Fay heavy.  I was quite impressed with her as well, and I usually find her the weakest.

 

But not enough Damo for my liking. Lol.

Well said domino!  And very true....

Whimsy - interesting that you guessed who was guilty in this one - I guessed quite early on that it was Aaron who had abused the boy (was that the same boy from the very first ep of s1?!) but I had no idea who had shot the rev - which was the original crime they were investigating....I totally kept changing my mind!  And funnily enough I didn't notice the filming style in this ep, although in ep1 I was really aware of it.

Just watching this again on Channel 5 + 24 and totally didn't catch first time round that Jack says "do you mind if I go for a quick wee?" when he's talking to the reverend. So policemen really do go to the toilet after all ;)

What?  I totally missed that!  I could not understand the mumbling/accents at the beginning. Rewatch excuse...

It was about half way through when Jack is speaking to the reverend in the room with the blue chairs. Jack is asking him about the camp. I think I didn't catch it first time because he was mumbling!

The variety of our impressions and the things we focus on/catch/miss is so facinating!

Fifi, I caught on to Aaron almost right away. He was just so squirrely, and so quick to paint his girlfriend in a bad light that I knew he was hiding something. The shooting I knew as soon as they found the gun in her house.  She was so very understandably distraught that her poor son had been abused. I felt that in that situation I might do the same.

Great episode and I found the speech clearer again than in episode one - I didn't need the subtitles. Child see abuse is a very difficult topic to cover as it is so sensitive and this was very well done, especially the young boy not wanting to talk about it. Once again I found Jack to be the best character, and Faye Ripley's voice didn't grate as much as it usually does. I'm really looking forward to next week.

Really good episode! The subject matter was obviously tough to watch, but not surprisingly Jack was amazing with dealing with it. The way he spoke to Aaron during the interviews and his reactions were so realistic! So impressive, loved it. And I agree with him... definitely made me want to puke hearing his explanation. Those people should just be killed. Ugh horrible.

I did notice he said this...it made me say to my OH that you totally wouldn't fall for that if you were sitting in a police interview room - you'd guess that it was an excuse to go and discuss something you'd said with somebody else.  And then I remembered that it wasn't real!!!  It's definitely not something that you'd usually hear in a tv drama...but I'd completely forgotten that Damien had mentioned about going to the loo in that interview.

It made me laugh when Damien talked about going to the toilet in that interview so I thought it was so funny when he said it for 'real' as Jack.

How funny, I just assumed he'd mentioned the loo as an offhand comment, not an actual in-show example!  Still haven't had a chance to rewatch this episode to catch his cheeky line.
