Innocent viewers have a LOT of theories about who the killer is
Did David really kill his wife? Or was it his brother? Or her sister? ITV viewers can't decide

New ITV thriller Innocent debuted last night (14th May) and viewers were left with one burning question: who really killed Tara?
Although we learned that her husband David (Lee Ingleby) was jailed for the murder, he always protested his Innocence (hence the show's name) despite police finding Tara’s blood on his clothing.
