The Long Call
Thou shalt not kill.
Created by Kelly Jones
On ITV1
A psychologically interior crime drama that uses a murder investigation as the frame for examining religious trauma, belonging, and the detective's reckoning with his past in the small community that rejected him.
Detective Matthew Venn returns to the small North Devon community he grew up in with his husband and begins investigating a murder whilst coming to terms with his own traumatic past, having been excommunicated by his family and the church community they lived in.
