How to watch The Suspect outside the UK
David
When he isn't helping you watch TV abroad, David enjoys watching comedy and documentaries. He's a big fan of The Detectorists and Blue Planet. He also loves watching English football, for his sins he supports Arsenal.
If you were a fan of Line of Duty, Vigil, or The Pembrokeshire Murders, then the new ITV thriller The Suspect (not to be confused with the recently released ‘Suspect‘) is a show you won’t want to miss.
If you were a fan of Poldark, there is a pretty good reason to want to tune in too.
The Suspect is a show that has it all, murder, suspense, psychological trauma, family strife, and online drama.
But unfortunately, if you are not in the UK, you will find it hard to watch The Suspect where you are. Fortunately, there is a simple little online tool that can be used to enable you to watch The Suspect no matter where in the world you are.
If you want to find out more, all you have to do is keep reading this guide.
Where is The Suspect being shown?
The Suspect is being broadcast live on ITV in the UK. It will also be available both live and on-demand on the ITV Hub online streaming service for those who prefer to watch on their internet-enabled devices.
But this is only for UK viewers. If you try and log in to watch The Suspect on the ITV Hub from outside the UK, you will find that The Suspect, and all of the ITV Hub’s huge range of content, is blocked to users outside the UK.
How do I stream The Suspect where I am?
If you happen to be outside the UK, either on holiday or on business, you will have to use a Virtual Private Network or VPN to view The Suspect where you are.
A VPN is an online security and privacy app that is recommended as part of your online security toolkit by most IT security professionals.
Because a VPN redirects all of your internet traffic through a secure external server, it is also ideal for unblocking streaming services and other geo-restricted content too.
This is because VPNs have servers located all over the world.
If you connect to a server located in the UK, ITV hub will think that’s where you are located, and so it will let you stream The Suspect, even if you are on a beach in Spain or trekking around Yosemite National Park in the USA.
Where to get a VPN?
There are literally thousands of VPNs online, but not all are effective at streaming online content overseas.
The top VPN for this job is ExpressVPN. It offers lightning-fast connection speeds, loads of user-friendly apps for all your streaming devices, a ton of UK servers, and an impressive 30-day money-back guarantee.
If for some reason, you aren’t sold on ExpressVPN, NordVPN and Surfshark VPN are also more than capable of unblocking The Suspect overseas, and both also come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
You’re free to choose the provider of your choice.

What is The Suspect all about?
The Suspect is the latest TV thriller from World Productions, the company that bought you Line of Duty and so many more terrific dramas.
It follows Joseph O’Loughlin, a clinical psychologist who is brought into the case of a young woman called Catherine, who has been found dead. Her body has been found in a shallow grave, and investigators are trying to deduce whether it was a murder or a suicide.
On the face of it, O’Loughlin seems to have a perfect life, with a devoted wife, a beautiful daughter, a successful career, a media profile, and a publishing deal. He is even an online hero after saving a suicidal young patient where he works.
But as the investigation into Catherine’s death progresses, cracks begin to show, and viewers will begin to wonder if his life is as it seems and whether there might be some sort of secret lingering in the shadows.
The show was written by Peter Berry, who also wrote Gangs of London, and he said of The Suspect, “I hope the audience will find it equally enthralling as they delve the depths of a truly iconic character caught up in a story that will test his faith in his profession, his family and himself.”
Who stars in The Suspect?
The role of Joseph O’Loughlin in The Suspect is played by Aidan Turner, who viewers will recognise from Poldark, Desperate Romantics, Being Human, and the Hobbit movie franchise.
Turner is the stand-out name in this series and delivers another powerful and impressive performance. But he is more than ably supported by an ensemble cast which features a number of familiar faces.
Shaun Parkes (Small Axe, Lost in Space), Sian Clifford (Fleabag, Vanity Fair), Camilla Beeput (Peep Show, Grantchester), Adam James (Vigil, I May Destroy You) and Anjli Mohindra (Bodyguard, Vigil, The Sarah Jane Adventures) all put in impressive performances.
But it would be wrong to suggest that The Suspect is anything but a vehicle for Aidan Turner. And it is all the better for it.
Summary
The Suspect looks set to be one of the televisual events of the Autumn, and you won’t want to miss an episode, even if you have to travel abroad for work or pleasure.
The good news is that you can watch every episode of The Suspect live or on-demand on ITV Hub from anywhere with the help of a VPN.
ExpressVPN is the best VPN provider to use. All you have to do is sign up, download the app, log in, connect to a UK-based server, and then use the ITV Hub app or website as usual.
Aidan Turner is a bone-fide star on the big and small screen. And in The Suspect, you can enjoy him at the very height of his powers.
