Suspicion Apple TV+ New Series
Uma Thurman leads this eight-episode thriller. When the son of a prominent American businesswoman (Thurman) is kidnapped from a New York hotel, the eye of suspicion quickly falls on four seemingly ordinary British citizens who were at the hotel on the night in question. As they find themselves in a trans-atlantic cat-and-mouse race to evade the combined forces of the National Crime Agency and the FBI to prove their innocence, it becomes apparent that not everyone can be trusted. Who is really behind the mysterious abduction, and who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? The ensemble cast also includes Kunal Nayyar, Noah Emmerich, Georgina Campbell, Elyes Gabel, Elizabeth Henstridge, Tom Rhys Harries and Angel Coulby. The first two episodes are available today; subsequent new episodes are available Fridays.

Reacher Prime Video New Series
Alan Ritchson plays Jack Reacher, the action hero of Lee Child’s series of novels, in this eight-episode series that is based on Child’s first Jack Reacher novel, 1997’s Killing Floor, and includes the author as an executive producer. The series follows Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. He is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country.
When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him, and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Kristin Kreuk, Bruce Mcgill and Chris Webster also star.
