What do we know from the Landscapers trailer?

The official Landscapes trailer opens with police explaining two bodies were found buried in the garden of a house.

This precedes Thewlis, who plays Chris, turning to Susan (Olivia) uttering ‘’the more we run, the more guilty we will seem’’.

The trailer teases a high drama, suspense-driven series as it pivots between snippets of Chris and Susan’s questioning in police custody, the investigation and their life together.
