Vigil (Series 1): Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Claustrophobic murder mystery set aboard a nuclear submarine
Year: 2021
Certificate: 15
This six-part thriller felt like a drastic change of pace when it first aired in the prestigious Sunday night slot on BBC1. A police procedural with a brilliant but troubled detective - so far so familiar - it was the claustrophobic nuclear submarine setting, a culture of secrecy and a creeping threat to national security that raised the ante and pushed viewers to the edge of their seats.
Suranne Jones stars as DCI Amy Silva, who boards HMS Vigil to investigate the death of a crewman. She's basically trapped on board, while on dry land her colleague and former lover (Games Of Thrones' Rose Leslie) aids the investigation. (Six episodes)
