Inside Man (2022)

Four tight hours, first shown on BBC One in September 2022, built from three strands: a prisoner on death row in the US, a vicar in a quiet English town and a math teacher trapped in a cellar. Watching them converge is the puzzle, and the series runs on the idea that anyone could become a murderer given a good reason and a bad day. Stanley Tucci plays the prisoner, Jefferson Grieff, with dry precision, and David Tennant's vicar reunites him with Moffat after Doctor Who. The plotting asks for a few leaps of faith, but the pull from one episode to the next is relentless.
