If like us you've been watching Rivals and have become lowkey obsessed with Aidan Turner and now want to watch every single project he's ever been in, then we have just the show for you.

Our Aidan Turner devotion began years ago when he led BBC's Poldark from 2015 to 2019, then we of course loved watching him in The Hobbit movie trilogy and now we're watching him every Friday night as he plays Declan O'Hara in the adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals.

For fans of Aidan who prefer to watch a more tense thriller, then we have just the recommendation, as his 2022 gripping psychological series The Suspect is now available to stream on ITVX. This is everything you need to know about it.

What is The Suspect about?

Based on crime writer Michael Robotham's novel of the same name, The Suspect stars Aidan Turner as clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin. Joe is called in to advise on a crime scene after a woman is discovered dead with 21 self-inflicted stab wounds, which the police believe she was forced to do by her killer. However, when Joe arrives to offer his assistance he discovers the woman is a patient of his and a series of events leads to Joe being named the main suspect in the investigation.

When the series debuted back in 2022 on ITV, The Guardian rated it highly giving it four stars and describing it as "great, well-acted fun". The Telegraph said Turner was "enigmatic" as the psychologist and The Evening Standard praised the show's cinematography.
