What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Blind Sherlock builds its crime procedural around sound rather than sight, following Roman Mertens as he uses exceptional hearing to do investigative work inside a police wiretapping unit. The deduction here runs on what a voice betrays, what a background noise places, what a pause means; the puzzle-solving has a specific texture that most crime shows never attempt.

The danger Roman faces does not arrive through chases or confrontations but accumulates inside the institution he worked to join. Professional ambition and physical vulnerability press against each other in a setting that should feel safe and increasingly does not, which gives the peril a slow, interior quality that tightens episode by episode.

Gone

ITV1 • Jul 23, 2026
CrimeDrama

Local Headmaster Michael Polly who becomes the prime suspect in his wife Sarah's disappearance when he encounters gutsy Detective Annie Cassidy in a compulsive game of cat and mouse.

Why this pick

Gone and Blind Sherlock share a suspense-first setup where credibility and perception get tested minute by minute, not through big action. Gone keeps the disappearance case in tight interrogation-room tension, turning withheld information and psychological duels into a steady pressure cooker that feels darker and faster.

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

The Copenhagen Test and Blind Sherlock both lean on a protagonist who has to solve problems using what they can sense, even when that sense becomes unreliable. The Copenhagen Test traps its lead in near-future surveillance dread, where every moment of “normal” is loaded with danger, making it stranger and more paranoia-heavy than Blind Sherlock.
