How do you create a unique police drama nowadays? With the ever-growing choice of streaming platforms come an equal amount of crime shows. Gone are the days where we only had Midsomer Murders, Inspector Morse and the occasional Nordic Noir.
But this glut isn’t necessarily a bad thing, when the set up is as juicy as the one in Six Four, ITVX’s latest offering. Inspired by Hideo Yokoyama’s best-selling novel by the same name (which was itself inspired by the writer’s 12 year stint as a police reporter in Gunma prefecture in Japan) and set in Glasgow, it follows a story of corruption, kidnappings and an uncompromising search for the truth.
