SERIES PREMIERE: This BBC Two drama, written by David Hare, stars Carey Mulligan, who also starred recently in the London and Broadway revivals of Hare’s play Skylight. Here, she plays Det. Inspector Kip Glaspie, who’s investigating the murder of a pizza delivery boy – and suspects the case is more complex than it appears. Other co-stars include John Simm as a British politician, and Billie Piper as his ex, who ordered the pizza. Collateral is exactly the sort of police drama that we’d expect to see imported now on Acorn TV – or, before and past that, on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery. The fact that Netflix has grabbed this, too, is yet another indication of how expansionist Netflix’s programming plans have become. For a full review, see David Hinckley's All Along the Watchtower.
