8 David Tennant Shows That Are Just As Good As Doctor Who
1. Criminal: UK
Criminal: UK is a British based crime anthology series on Netflix, exclusively set in the walls of a police interview room. It follows three stories over the course of each adjoining episode - in one of which Tennant plays a Doctor who claims he is framed for assaulting and murdering his step daughter. The series is set over three other countries - France, Germany and Spain - all of which include the same style with different narratives and actors. All episodes were released on the same day last year to the streaming platform.
The cat-and-mouse thriller was praised for the claustrophobic and fast paced narrative that plays mental games on the characters and audience watching at home. Each episode works individually at a 43 minute exact running time, with the dialogue battling between the interrogators and their victims as they race to solve the cases and wait for a confession to drop.
Tennant is untrustworthy and mysterious in his role, much like his father figure narrative in Deadwater Fell. This is one of the tensest shows you'll ever watch, piecing together the crime, leaving eyes glued until the credits roll.
