After ex-soldier Shaun Emery's (Turner) conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is overturned due to flawed video evidence, he returns home a free man to his young daughter. But when CCTV footage from a night out in London comes to light, Shaun's life takes a shocking turn and he must soon fight for his freedom once again. With DI Rachel Carey (Grainger) drafted in to investigate Shaun's case, she quickly learns that the truth can sometimes be a matter of perspective. Should she trust Shaun Emery?

Follows London Detective Hana Li, whose investigations lead her into the world of National Security.
Red Eye keeps the same high-stakes British case pressure as The Capture, where one piece of evidence can flip the whole story. A London detective’s investigation escalates into airborne national security danger, with tension built from close, contained scrutiny rather than big set pieces.
When an assassination links a veteran MI5 agent to a conspiracy, he races to find the truth and protect his career, his marriage, and his country.
Betrayal delivers the same spy-crisis dread as The Capture, with suspicion tightening around a person who should know how traps work. Workplace distrust and a collapsing marriage create constant interrogation nerves, keeping the mystery cerebral and personal while the danger stays intimate and relentless.
While a journalist uncovers evidence of phone hacking at a tabloid newspaper, a former police detective looks into the unsolved murder of a private investigator.
The Hack scratches the same itch as The Capture for story-based British crime where institutions manipulate what counts as proof. Interlocking investigations into tabloid corruption and a cold-case murder build tension through methodical evidence gathering, but it’s more grounded and procedural, with less mind-bending surveillance focus.
