Reception
The critical response to the series was rather not favourable. Rebecca Nicholson in The Guardian labelled it an "awfully cartoonish crime series" and awarded it two out of five stars. 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." 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". On Metacritic the series holds a score of 49, "Mixed or average reviews".
