Help me find this crime drama!

I'm ill and pregnant at the moment and I just want to snuggle on the sofa with something to watch!

This drama I vaguely remember is a UK one where the perpetrator turns out to be a member of the police investigative team. I think it's based on a true story, but not sure.

It's a bit like Manhunt from memory.

I have googled and googled and gone through the 'more like this option' on the tv but I cannot find it! It's not Above Suspicion or Line Of Duty or an episodic one like Shetland or Vera.

I'd be so grateful if someone has any clue what it could be!

Red Riding? (Though the whole police force was involved in that one)

Aquamarine1029 · 25/08/2022 17:26

The Fall?

Are there any other clues details you can give us OP? Like the channel or if it was on a streaming service?

Yeah that was DARK

Ishacoco · 25/08/2022 17:29

None of those!

I think it was a rape/murder, possibly a few. It was a stand-alone drama, one where they can't understand how the perpetrator is always one step ahead and then suddenly realise it must be someone on their team.

Unforgotten? Not stand alone though but I'm sure they had a plot like that in one of the series.

ladymalfoy45 · 25/08/2022 17:39

One of the Prime Suspect series?

ladymalfoy45 · 25/08/2022 17:40

Because I remember who 'did it'

LetHimHaveIt · 25/08/2022 17:54

Accents? Any of the actors?

traintraveller · 25/08/2022 18:09

The Stranger? I'm sure the baddie was a police man.

I still think it's the first season on No Offence, more so based on this extra info

fancysweets · 25/08/2022 21:01

Is it Des?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 25/08/2022 21:03

There's a film with that storyline. (probably several tbf!) and I was convinced it was Sandra Bullock and Murder By Numbers. I settled in to watch it the other day and it was a completely different film to what I thought I was going to watch!

Just following in the hope someone suggests the film I actually wanted to see...

soggydigestives · 25/08/2022 21:05

Could it be Broadchurch?

blackberrybat · 25/08/2022 21:08

The Killing?

Leafy3 · 25/08/2022 21:19

Not the Welsh one with the lovely Luke Evans?

I remember two people looking at a tv in the incident room and you see the dawning clarity on the face of one as they realise what's happening. Not v helpful I know!

It does sound like The Stanger. The way they reveal be worked for the police was excellent.
