The opening scene of Channel 4 crime thriller Suspect has been described as \u201creally brave\u201d by one of its ensemble.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot in very many starts to a season do you see that, that jump in,\u201d said Nicholas Pinnock of the unsettling interaction between Anne-Marie Duff\u2019s Dr Susannah Newman<\/a> and her new patient Jon, played by Dominic Cooper, who confesses to murdering young women \u2013 and that another kill is imminent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have the protagonist and the antagonist in the same scene, and the murderer is admitting that he\u2019s going to kill people, and it\u2019s that ticking clock of, \u2018When is he going to do it, where is he going to do it?\u2019 I thought the thriller aspects of that were handled really, really well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Pinnock, who plays Joseph, a former patient of Susannah\u2019s who is introduced in episode 6, also praised the writing for how effectively it keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things that keeps you gripped,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody is a suspect, you don\u2019t know who she [Susannah] can trust. And because we\u2019re so embedded in the central character\u2019s story and world, we feel for her and we feel the danger that she feels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re on the journey that she\u2019s on, and are suspicious as she is about everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
