Damage control

A lawyer crosses paths with her former stalker in a twisty thriller

- SEAN MARLAND, IAN MACEWA

Could you ever trust the word of someone who was once your stalker? That’s the dilemma facing a talented but troubled young lawyer in The Killing Kind, a six-part thriller on Paramount+ starring Emma Appleton and Colin Morgan.

A rising star at her London chambers, defence barrister Ingrid Lewis (Appleton) is slowly getting her life back on track in the wake of a broken engagement, a house fire and an intense relationship with former client-turned-stalker John Webster (Morgan), a charismatic businessman.

When John gets back in touch with Ingrid out of the blue to warn her that her life is in danger, her instinct is to ignore him after everything he’s put her through. But then tragedy strikes Ingrid’s charismatic mentor Belinda (Sara Powell), and an increasingly paranoid Ingrid starts to suspect foul play. But she is unsure who she can trust and whether, this time, John is a hero or villain.
