Vigil

Suranne Jones in Vigil (BBC/PEACOCK 2021) sits at a desk, coat in front of her. The light is dim as it's dusk, windows with closed blinds behind her. She's looking to her right at something off screen.

Lauren Lyle (Outlander) brought me into Vigil, produced for BBC and now available on Peacock in the US. Luckily all episodes are out and I didn’t have to wait like when it originally aired – it’s a very intense thriller! Suranne Jones (Gentleman Jack) is phenomenal in anything she does. Besides the murder mystery, Vigil is also a love story told in flashbacks between Jones’ Amy Silver and Rose Leslie’s Kirsten Longacre.

Surprise appearances by Paterson Joseph (Timeless) and Gary Lewis (also of Outlander – it takes place in Scotland, after all) rounded out a stellar cast and top notch production.
