Aidan Turner returns to US TV screens next month, and we could not be more excited.
AMC Networks’ Sundance Now today released the trailer for its original five-part thriller, The Suspect, starring the Poldark, Leonardo, and The Hobbit veteran.
The Suspect is based on the bestselling novel by acclaimed crime writer Michael Robotham.
All five episodes of the drama will premiere Thursday, November 3 on Sundance Now and AMC+.
The series follows Doctor Joe O'Loughlin (Turner), who appears to have the perfect life - a devoted wife, a loving daughter, successful practice as a clinical psychologist, media profile and a publishing deal.
He's even a hero online after rescuing a young patient who was ready to jump from the tenth floor of the hospital where Joe works.

You know the story.
Superhero psychologist with early on-set Parkinson’s publicly saves the life of a teenager, meets a detective while hanging out with sex workers down the pub, is immediately hired as a consultant on a murder case and then becomes the prime suspect. Oh and he’s played by Poldark (aka Aidan Turner).
ITV latest glossy thriller The Suspect, based on the debut novel of Michael Robotham, is a semi-ridiculous, tropey but nonetheless twisty-turny ball of fun told over five episodes broadcast weekly. Somewhat in the mold of HBO shows like The Undoing and Big Little Lies, where we revel in seeing beautiful people with aspirational lives get their comeuppance, this London-set version establishes Turner’s Joe McLoughlin as a man with a perfect life.
He’s a brilliant (probably – they’re always brilliant aren’t they?) psychologist with his own private practice, several published books that...

Norwegian producer Gudny Hummelvoll, whose Hummelfilm shingle worked in tandem with Sweden’s Yellow Bird on hit climate-crisis thriller “Occupied,” has been elected President of the European Producers Club.
Hummelvoll is the first woman to head the organization of 130 prominent independent film and TV drama producers across Europe, including the U.K., who since 1993 have been jointly thrashing out pressing audiovisual industry issues and lobbying European Union legislators.
She replaces Spanish producer Alvaro Longoria, head of Spain’s prominent and prolific Morena Films, in the organization’s top role. Longoria is now one of Epc’s three vice presidents, alongside Dariusz Jablonski, head of Poland’s Apple Films, and Paula Vaccaro of Pinball London.

Daily dread infuses the raw, claustrophobic story of a teenage carer looking after her troubled mother and little brother
Norwegian writer-director Camilla Strøm Henriksen’s impressive debut is an intelligent family drama refrigerated with horror-movie chills. Partly autobiographical, it’s the story of teenage carer Jill (Ylva Bjørkaas Thedin), who looks after her little brother and their depressed single mum. This is a family unlikely to show up on the radar of social services: Jill’s mum has had some success in the past as an artist; her dad is a famous jazz musician and rarely around.
The claustrophobic first half, with echoes of Polanski’s Repulsion, is confined almost entirely to Jill’s flat where mum Astrid (Maria Bonnevie) swings between depressive slumps and manic bursts of creativity. There’s psychological depth and rawness to these scenes that’s painful to watch. Feeling she’s a failure as an artist,...

Up until the inception of the naughts, Camilla Strøm Henriksen was a face we’d find on television and she would parlay this experience in front of the camera into a long term gig behind the camera. Descending into Tiff with her directorial debut in the Discovery programme, Phoenix is a Norwegian and Swedish co-production coming of ager that visits tragedy and the trickle down effects of mental illness.…...

If our best laid plans are said to often go awry, what happens to the ones we hastily make in desperation? Writer/director Camilla Strøm Henriksen looks to supply an answer to that very question with her feature debut Phoenix because desperation is all young Jill (Ylva Bjørkaas Thedin) has left. Her fourteenth birthday is just days away and yet she returns home from school to see the beginnings of a celebration abandoned and her mother Astrid (Maria Bonnevie) asleep in bed. Knowing her little brother (Casper Falck-Løvås’ Bo) is on his way, Jill looks to clean up the evidence and/or make excuses so as not to reveal Mom’s depression has completely turned her around from remembering the important things too. It’s seems a tragically all-too familiar act.
What’s interesting is that the truth isn’t quite what Jill believes. Whether or not it’s better or worse,...
