Watch Suspect Season 2: Synopsis

There’s never been a better time to be alive for crime fans. Shows like The Jetty and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder are just two great dramas that caused viewers to gnaw on their nails over the summer, yet few of them can boast the star-wattage on show in Suspect. BAFTA-winner Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters) once again portrays psychotherapist Susannah, investigating the ongoing mystery of her daughter’s murder, and our guide below explains how to watch Suspect Season 2 online, and stream this smoldering drama FREE on Channel 4 from anywhere.

Based on the acclaimed Danish series Forhøret (or, Face to Face), Season 1 followed Detective Frater (James Nesbit) as he attempted to discover what led to the death of his estranged daughter Christina: tracking down and cajoling former acquaintances into coughing up incriminating evidence.

The new season of Suspect mixes things up, with Frater now inside a psychiatric facility after the bloody end to season 1, focus shifts to his ex-wife Susannah as her latest patient, Jon (Dominic Cooper) confesses to killing multiple people while under hypnosis to stop smoking. 

"Duff sells her heart out as the grief-struck therapist" say critics, and her performance is centre of the show as each of Suspect's half-hour episodes find psychotherapist Susannah duking it out with a different character, played by one of an impressive number of A-listers. That includes Tamsin Grieg (Green Wing, Belgravia) and Ben Miller (Death in Paradise), Eddie Marsan (Tyrannosaur), Nicholas Pinnock (This Town, Django), and Gina McKee (Phantom Thread), while Cooper (My Lady Jane, Preacher) takes on a lead role as Jon. With each encounter, Susannah learns more about a larger, more troubling conspiracy that might even be related to her daughter’s own tragic demise.

Suspenseful, intense, and delivering an incendiary acting showcase, read on for our guide explaining how to watch Suspect Season 2 online, free and from anywhere in the world with a VPN.
