Suspicion (2022)

Matt Roush says...

An international mystery thriller based on the Israeli hit False Flag features Uma Thurman (not much seen in the opening chapters) as a global communications mogul and candidate for the U.K. ambassadorship whose 21-year-old son is brazenly kidnapped from a posh Manhattan hotel hallway by unknown assailants wearing British royal masks. After a video of the abduction goes viral, The Americans’ Noah Emmerich (as FBI Special Agent Scott Anderson) is assigned to work with London’s police to grill the prime suspects—including The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Elizabeth Henstridge—who were all visiting New York at the time. Not quite as generic as its title makes it sound, Suspicion might have worked better as an all-at-once binge. (Apple, as is its custom, is dropping the first two episodes, with the remainder airing weekly.)
