David Tennant's 2020 crime drama Deadwater Fell has hit Netflix – and has already climbed to the top of the UK charts.
Written and created by Daisy Coulam, the series stars Tennant as Tom Kendrick, a doctor whose wife and three children are killed in a fire. Though it seems like an accident at first, investigators hone in on two key details: the father, Tom, was the only one who was pulled out alive, and all five family members were drugged. Coulam and producer Emma Kingsman-Lloy were inspired by Netflix's crime drama, The Staircase, which is based on a real-life homicide case involving a family and its suspicious patriarch. The series has hit no. 1 on the Netflix UK Top 10, and sits at no. 2 in Ireland.
