The five-part series has been stripped across a week, and centres on a police surveillance cop who must spy on the prime suspect in a missing person case.

The drama features Noel Clarke as DC Martin Young in its cast – in addition to Bronagh Waugh (The Fall), and Sanditon actress Alexandra Roach as Zoe Sterling, a single mum and secret voeyur.

Most of the action takes place on a single Georgian street in Manchester. If you're interested in where Viewpoint was filmed, you can take a look at our location guide.

In the series, we follow DC Martin Young (Clarke), a buttoned-up surveillance detective with a traumatic past.
