"Collateral" is a four-part thriller set in London that takes place over four days. When a pizza delivery driver is shot down in South London, Detective Inspector Kip Glaspie, played by "Great Gatsby" star Carey Mulligan, is left in charge of the investigation and refuses to accept the murder as just a random act of violence. As she investigates, she soon finds herself being drawn into the darker side of underworld London. At the same time, politician David Mars, played by John Simm, becomes embroiled in the events due to his rocky relationship with his unpredictable ex, Karen, and a vicar struggles to conceal her affair with the only witness to the shooting. Disparate worlds collide and become entangled as the investigation develops.

Critics Consensus
Collateral's social commentary is sometimes overbearing, but strong performances cut through an overcrowded script to suggest that good intentions can count for something.

For all its faults, Collateral remained gripping to the end.

With a set-up this tantalising, what a shame it would be if Collateral's script doesn't settle down.
Rated: 3/5

Collateral [is] a superb four-part-thriller... that deftly tackles politics, immigration issues and murky espionage as well as the central crime.

Ready Steady Cut
A four-part police procedural series, which uses interweaving subplots to present a picture of modern British society.
Rated: 3.5/5

Hare is on to something important here: the contamination of British (and, of course, even more so, American) society by the new round of neo-colonial wars.

I really, really hope that, down the line, the plot demands she vault over a five-metre wall to bag the baddie. That would get the full five stars.

Excellent !. Great acting and dialogue and a pacy production. Complex plot spread over only 4 episodes. Perhaps a little "preachy" but that is small criticism. Recommended.

As much a social commentary as it is a crime/murder drama, this show is elevated by the performances of it's lead actors, particularly Carey Mulligan.

I am a big fan of Nicola Walker. I think this is about the only show I've seen with her that I didn't care for. I am so sick of having a certain native shoved in my face. If it had any good quality to it that's one thing. This is just thrown at you with no good quality. This is becoming the norm and it's really sad.

Another poorly thought out drama with far too many "political" undertones. The story is full of holes (like you witness a murder and the police don't even check your that name and address is correct) and the acting is far from convincing, which to say the cast it has is probably the biggest disappointment!

Nothing innovative or new here. Just another woke police drama built around promoting women over men and the LGBTQ agenda - all while portraying Christianity in its worst light and seeking to garner sympathy for Muslims.
