Two seemingly disconnected narratives intersect in a less dark version of Silence of the Lambs

Move over Hannibal Lecter: In Inside Man, the new crime drama from Steven Moffat — writer and producer of Sherlock — Stanley Tucci plays Jefferson Grieff, a former criminology professor on death row for allegedly murdering his wife. Grieff has set up an unorthodox consultancy service, helping visitors solve puzzling cases. Meanwhile, across the pond, in a small English village, an at first seemingly unrelated storyline unfolds. David Tennant plays Harry Watling, a vicar who finds himself in an altercation that quickly escalates, reaffirmming Grieff’s notion that “Everyone is a murderer. You just need a good reason and a bad day.” The two narratives begin to intersect, when Beth, an English reporter, visits Grieff and begins asking about a case involving her acquaintance disappearing back home, in a plotline that draws parallels to The Silence of the Lambs — albeit significantly less dark.
