After weeks of adverts, new ITV drama Viewpoint made its highly anticipated debut on Monday night, with millions tuning into get a first look.
Shot in Manchester last year, the thriller follows surveillance officer Martin Young as he takes over the house of mum and secret voyeur Zoe Sterling to try and get to the bottom of the disappearance of missing school teacher Gemma Hillman.
With Gemma's boyfriend Greg the prime suspect, Martin uses Zoe's flat to get a clear view of the couple's home on the other side of the street.
Episode 1 of Viewpoint saw Greg grilled by Martin's former colleagues in the CID, with flashbacks revealing something traumatic was behind Martin's decision to switch to surveillance.
Former Coronation Street star and Strictly contestant Catherine Tyldesley is also in the Viewpoint cast as Kate Tuckman, a character many viewers immediately became to suspect had something to hide.
The first episode ended on a real cliff-hanger as, against Martin's orders, Zoe accepted Greg's offer of a drink and headed inside to his house.
How many episodes are Viewpoint are there?
Monday's conclusion set things things up nicely for episode 2 on Tuesday night and there are FIVE episodes of Viewpoint in total, with some fans already dubbing it ' the new Line of Duty.'
In a big break with tradition, these will air across five consecutive nights, with the final one on Friday, April 30.
A teaser for episode 2 reads: "Martin goes on a mission to dig deeper into Carl Tuckman's murky past, hoping to find clues that may relate to Gemma's disappearance."
While some viewers were instantly hooked on Viewpoint, others quickly gave up on it, with one far from impressed Twitter user posting: "Felt like @itv hyped up #Viewpoint by dropping adverts since Jan/ Feb but thought I'd give it a shot seen as too close was good. Lasted 15 mins watched channel 4 instead."
In agreement, another posted: "Sometimes itv drama hits and sometimes it misses. I may stick with it but I predict I'll be done by Wednesday"
