If You Loved David Tennant’s Broadchurch, Check Out This Brilliant British Murder Mystery on Netflix

Can't get enough of British crime dramas? This Carey Mulligan gem needs to be your next binge.
One of the most compelling genres there is on television, crime drama aka murder mystery is what British showrunners do best. Take a look at what they've created over the last few years, there are a lot of good shows like Happy Valley, Luther, and of course there's the outstanding David Tennant series Broadchurch.
But there's another series that probably flew under the radar with all the variety we have to choose from every day, and that's a miniseries called Collateral.
It is a brilliant British murder mystery series available on Netflix. While Broadchurch follows the investigation of a tragic murder in a small coastal town, Collateral offers a fresh, urban twist on the genre with its gripping narrative set in the heart of London.
Collateral premiered in 2018 and only has four episodes, making it the perfect weekend binge for fans of the genre. The show stars Carey Mulligan as Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie, who becomes involved in the investigation of the seemingly simple murder of a pizza delivery driver. However it turns out that his death is a much more complicated crime than it first seemed.
As the detective tries to dig deeper, she quickly unravels a web of crime, corruption, and political intrigue involved in the murder case. Glaspie uncovers a lot of interconnected secrets, which makes her question her own beliefs in justice and loyalty.
So at the heart of the story is the victim's connection to a larger conspiracy that reveals a hidden side of London's powerful elite. And the series does a perfect job of exploring complex social and political issues. As Mulligan's character progresses in her investigation, the viewer gets the chance to witness an amazingly crafted script and rich character development.
“Loved this one. I just found it super interesting and great plot characters for only 4 episodes,” Redditor Known-Estimate9664 said.
In addition to Mulligan, the show features a number of talented actors, including John Simm, Nicola Walker and Billie Piper, who each bring depth and complexity to their characters.
