REVIEW: While many will only need to see the headliners to push play, others should be warned, once started, you're likely in for a late-night binge.
Now he has no idea what to do next, especially with Janice quickly taking steps to ensure that he’s just as trapped as she is. As she begins to think this might be right up Jefferson’s alley, what she doesn’t know is that Janice is a victim of circumstance and a father desperate to preserve what he perceives as a threat to his son’s reputation. But it’s while regathering her composure back at the hotel that Beth notices she’s missed a call from an intriguing woman she only recently met. Since he can’t take notes, he relies on the photographic memory of fellow prisoner Dillon Kempton (Atkins Estimond), even if he can’t abide some of his opinions or asides. * Thanks to her inspiring others, police were waiting for him at the next station.

The result is smug, inessential and largely a waste of its clever dialogue and talented cast. ‘Brilliant enigma solves cases using superior powers of deduction’ is welcome and familiar television (especially familiar from the co-creator of Harry and his wife Mary (Lyndsey Marshal) aren’t trapped by fate or by circumstance, but by baffling choices they make in service of a hypothesis. [David Tennant](https://www.denofgeek.com/david-tennant/)’s vicar Harry Watling, wedged into a situation he keeps saying is unavoidable, but which could and should have been avoided at every turn. Good pun, and a decent premise for say, a CBS procedural in the NCIS/Ghost Whisperer pattern: a case a week to be solved by Tucci’s charismatic lead before his very literal deadline.

The four-part series has an impressive cast, including Stanley Tucci and David Tennant, and is created by acclaimed writer Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19882560/inside-man-filming-locations/) reports that no filming took place in the U.S. Inside Man is the latest thriller to land on Netflix, hitting the streamer on Oct.

As for his working relationship with Steven? I loved the Sherlocks and I think he is an amazing writer. For some, that favorite could very well be Emmy-winner Steven Moffat, who is arguably still best known as the writer of Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Inside Man (Season 1), On Netflix: Steven Moffat teams with Paul McGuigan to deliver an intriguing drama across two ends of the Pacific Ocean.
Grieff never told Beth he would not help her find Janice, and he only told her not to mention her name, allowing him to work in the shadows to find her. But Ben is quick to believe in his delirious state that Janice would implicate him, and he whacks Janice’s head with a hammer and suddenly realizes he could have killed her. Beth rescues Janice when Harry is about to swing a final blow to her head and tackles him to the ground. While trying to fight off Beth, Mary keeps calling Harry to tell him Ben is in the basement, but he does not answer his phone. When Ben calls his mother asking for the truth, he tells her he is in the basement of their house, and Mary panics. But because Harry has left the heater on, he locks his wife out of the house and seals the basement door where Ben and Janice are still present. While the carbon monoxide took some time to poison them both, Ben swoons in confusion because of the poisoning and puts together that Janice wanted to implicate his father in the discovery of child porn in the flash drive. Mary has understood that the email has implicated her and Harry and is struggling to tell Harry about it, who is avoiding his phone. After trying to force Edgar to admit that he had given the flash drive to him, Edgar is keeping a secret. Harry is confident he can get a confession out of Edgar in time to release Janice for her 4 pm call with her sister in Canada from her WebMail account to let her know she is alive. Terrified that she will tell the Police, he ‘unintentionally’ traps her in his basement after he broke her phone when she tried to take a video of him restraining her from leaving the house. While Beth Davenport interviewed him to write an article about the cases he investigates, it left Beth bemused by his nonchalant presence of mind towards her and her disposition.
With Inside Man, Steven Moffat (Doctor Who) may have invented a new subgenre: "The Noir Farce," darkly comic & hilariously entertaining.
It's too bad most of us won't get to see it unless someone decides to film it and put it on a streamer. He plays with subversions and reversals – the English vicar is considered the moral centre of a community but sinks into moral depravity (and Tennant being the real-life son of a minister, should know that vocation inside-out) Tucci's death row detective positions himself as a grim moral centre judging the worth of the cases brought to him and the people involved. There is a thematic richness to the show: is everyone truly good? And the grimness is skin-deep, a fun thought experiment about morality and murder. He has things he wants to say, ideas he wants to explore. Inside Man is Steven Moffat's first original story for television for over a decade, a noir suspense thriller about murder.
