Netflix fans are gripped by ‘best of the best’ crime drama Collateral – and have ended up binge-watching ever single episode in one day.

The four-part TV show, created and written by David Hare, hit our screens in 2018 on BBC Two.

Telly fans will be happy to know that despite it being released seven years ago on the Beeb, they are now able to watch it on streaming service Netflix.

Netflix’s official synopsis reads: ‘Investigating the murder of a pizza delivery man, a London detective uncovers a tangled conspiracy involving drug dealers, smugglers and spies.’

The drama is directed by S.J Clarkson.

Collateral boasts a star-studded cast of Carey Mulligan, John Simm, Billie Piper, Nicola Walker, Kae Alexander, Nathaniel Martello-White, Ben Miles, Vineeta Rishi and Rob Jarvis.

‘Simply loved this show.

‘Characters are so brilliant. Love to see more of Kip as a detective. Hopefully there’s a follow up! Carey Mulligan is simply the best,’ a third chimed in.

The mini-series was awarded 79% on the Tomatoemeter and 66% on the Popcornmeter.

Back in 2017 it was revealed that the show was going to be made.

Producer David Hare said at the time: ‘I’ve been writing drama for the BBC since 1973, but this is my first original series.

‘I’m thrilled that it has such a stunningly gifted cast.’

 While Controller of BBC Drama Piers Wenger added: ‘Collateral is a highly imaginative, thought-provoking and utterly contemporary state of the nation thriller written by Britain’s foremost political dramatist.

‘It is a great honour to welcome Sir David Hare back to the BBC and to be working with both he and The Forge on this outstanding piece of original work.’
