Suspects is a British police procedural television series that aired on Channel 5 from 12 February 2014 to 31 August 2016.[1] The series follows members of the Metropolitan Police as they investigate murders, assaults, and other crimes across London.

Most of the show's dialogue is improvised in order to make it seem natural. The actors have a detailed story document[2] and perform from there. The show is filmed within Brownall House the former Tower Hamlets Council offices on Cambridge Heath Road, London. The building exterior also features in ITV's comedy series The Job Lot.[3]
