Netflix's four-part crime thriller Inside Man has been hailed as the perfect binge-worthy series, with viewers admitting they watched the entire miniseries in one sitting. Created by Steven Moffat, the show stars Stanley Tucci, David Tennant, Lydia West and Dolly Wells.
Two Storylines That Collide
The plot intertwines two seemingly unrelated stories that eventually collide. One follows Jefferson Grieff (Tucci), a death-row inmate in an Arizona prison convicted of murdering his wife. While awaiting execution, Grieff investigates complex cold cases and solves puzzles brought to him by visitors, with assistance from fellow inmate Dillon, a convicted serial killer.
Alongside Grieff's story, another storyline follows vicar Harry Watling (Tennant), who lives in a quiet English village. His life takes a dark turn as he makes increasingly desperate decisions to protect his son, eventually leading him to accidentally lock maths tutor Janice (Wells) in his cellar.
Viewers Hooked From Start to Finish
The series has been praised by viewers, with one woman posting on TikTok that she was so hooked she watched the miniseries in one sitting. Alexia began: "So if you have Netflix and you're looking for a show to binge-watch easily in one night, I have the perfect show for you."
After revealing the show as Inside Man, Alexia admitted that although some of the acting is "iffy", it is "absolutely brilliant". She added: "Now this is only four episodes so like I said it's a super easy binge. I put on the first episode last night and I probably stopped watching by midnight because it is that gripping."
She continued: "It's got people like Stanley Tucci and David Tennant and it has these multiple storylines going on one of them being David Tennant as this vicar who gets into this massive misunderstanding which is absolutely brilliant. Stanley Tucci is like this Sherlock Holmes, however he is a criminal in prison and he ends up solving these cases which are going on."
"Now I'm not going to lie some of the acting is a little bit iffy in some places like it's just not the best but it is really entertaining to watch. I guarantee you will enjoy it and you will be hooked from start to finish."
Where to Watch
The four-episode series premiered on September 26, 2022, on BBC One. It is available to stream on Netflix or to purchase via Amazon Prime.
