James Nesbitt seems to have two types of role – the roguish, twinkly, handsome romantic lead of Cold Feet and medical series Monroe, and the gnarled, grizzled, troubled soul of recent hit Bloodlands and this week’s Suspect (Channel 4, Sun-Weds, 9pm).

And man, was it dark. Nesbitt’s face grew increasingly haggard, the shadows deepening around his eyes as his daughter’s secrets were gradually laid bare.

But with each episode following much the same structure – and early argument, verbal sparring, followed by a quiet but before DS Frater realises he’s somehow to blame – it felt like we were all just treading water.
