We're always in the market for a new TV crime thriller, especially one with a stellar cast and excellent reviews. So what better way to spend your weekend than streaming The Murder Line on ITVX, starring none other than Minnie Driver in the lead role?
The show was originally called The Borderline and premiered in Canada in February, but only now is it available to watch in the UK. So, what exactly is it about, and why's it worth watching?
What is The Murder Line about?
Crave, the Canadian streaming who originally aired the show, summarised, "A cop steps beyond the line of duty to help a childhood friend — only to land in the crosshairs of a ruthless British crime family."
Meanwhile, ITV added, "A double murder, a ruthless crime syndicate - stream this taut thriller starring Minnie Driver. When a cop uncovers a case involving an old friend, how much will he risk to help?"
Who's in the cast of The Murder Line?
The exceptional Minnie Driver takes on the role of crime family matriarch May Ferguson, while Stephen Amell plays Henry Roland, a policeman that discovers a friend from childhood (played by Hamza Haq) is involved in a serious drugs operation in their riverside town.
The cast also stars as Tamara Podemski as Erica Ross, Thomas Craig as Gaz, Jorja Cadence as Stacey and Katia Edith Wood as Ruby.
Where can you watch The Murder Line?
All six epsiodes are available to stream on ITVX now, and each episode is around 41 minutes each.
