What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Blind Sherlock makes listening an active part of its crime-solving: a muffled voice, a passing train or a hesitation on the phone can turn an intercepted call into a lead. Roman catches details others miss, giving the investigation a satisfying puzzle-box quality. Nervy scenes in headphones alternate with bursts of menace, as seemingly small sounds point toward a criminal network.

Roman’s skeptical colleagues give his early work an underdog edge, with each useful discovery offering another chance to prove himself. But success brings exposure as well as recognition. One connected investigation unfolds across the season at a brisk pace, and each new wiretap draws him further into a job whose danger becomes increasingly personal.

The Copenhagen Test poster

The Copenhagen Test

Peacock • Dec 27, 2025
MysteryAction & Adventure

A first-generation analyst realizes his brain's hacked, allowing access to his senses. Stuck between the agency and hackers, he acts normal to reveal the culprits.

Why this pick

Blind Sherlock turns overheard voices and background sounds into suspense, while The Copenhagen Test makes the fear of being watched and heard part of everyday life. Roman listens for clues in intercepted calls, and its analyst tries to keep ordinary conversations private, giving the spy thriller a more paranoid, near-future edge.

Patience

Channel 4 • Jun 14, 2026
DramaCrime

Patience catalogues evidence in the Yorkshire Police records department. A brilliant self-taught criminologist with keen crime scene instincts, her talent is spotted by Metcalf, opening new worlds for the archivist.

Why this pick

Blind Sherlock and Patience make overlooked details satisfying to watch, with quiet, observant leads spotting what others miss. Roman catches clues in voices and background noise, while Patience reads crime scenes and small pieces of evidence; her cases are gentler and more warmly funny than his dangerous wiretap work.
