Reception

Rebecca Nicholson in The Guardian labelled it an "awfully cartoonish crime series" and awarded it two out of five stars.[6] Nick Hilton in The Independent awarded also two out of five stars, and wrote, DS Danny Frater is "hitting every cliché possible, from every genre of detective fiction."[7] Another two stars review was published in i by Rachael Sigee, who criticised "Suspect’s wordy half-hour instalments offered a lot of script but didn’t seem to be saying very much or do enough to make you care about the characters".[8] On Metacritic the series holds a score of 49, "Mixed or average reviews".
