Memorable TV described the series as "an intriguing and tense thriller full of unexpected plot twists and surprises".[1]
Nancy Banks-Smith for The Guardian gave the series a mildly positive review, writing; "The discordant soundtrack, migraine set to music, was as exceptionally effective as the dialogue itself was laconic. On the other hand, I found Amanda Redman's wig a sad distraction. This voluptuous actress with the most effective eyes on television was playing a suburban schoolteacher given to wearing various shades of biscuit and a particularly dingy syrup. I did feel that a good, strong, shameless bleach would have solved most of her problems."[2]
Jane Simon for The Mirror was slightly more critical, writing; "It wasn't bad - I've certainly seen worse - but after 90 minutes of watching the first part of Suspicion, the abiding suspicion left at the end was that Suspicion, which concludes tonight was, in fact, nonsense. Slickly-made and quite well-acted but still utter nonsense."[7]
