ITV's newest thriller, Coldwater, has absolutely captivated the nation, largely thanks to a powerhouse performance from its leading man. Andrew Lincoln, an actor beloved by millions for his long-running role as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead, makes a stunning return to British television that has left viewers utterly spellbound.
The series premiere this week was met with an immediate and ecstatic reaction on social media. Fans rushed to X (formerly Twitter) to declare the show an instant hit, with one viewer branding it "utterly brilliant television" and another stating they were "completely hooked from the first minute."
A Chilling Premise
The drama centres on a sprawling, secluded estate in the British countryside, which becomes the epicentre of a horrifying crime. Lincoln takes on the role of a deeply complex and troubled vicar, a character worlds away from the zombie-apocalypse hero audiences are familiar with.
He is joined by an all-star British cast including the formidable John Simm and the talented Niamh Algar, creating a tense and compelling dynamic on screen.
Viewers Are Hooked
The audience response was instantaneous and overwhelmingly positive. Comments flooded in praising the show's atmospheric tension, sharp writing, and standout performances.
"Andrew Lincoln is phenomenal in #Coldwater. What a welcome back to UK TV!" tweeted one thrilled fan. Another simply posted, "Well, that was spine-chillingly good. More please, @ITV!"
The buzz is undeniable, with many hailing it as the next must-watch drama and the best thing they've seen on television in quite some time. If the first episode is anything to go by, ITV has another major hit on its hands.
