The Killing Kind is a gripping contemporary drama series that charts the compelling past and present relationship between a high-flying Defence Barrister, Ingrid Lewis, and her client John Webster, a successful businessman.

Ingrid represented Webster in court when he was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend. Ingrid found herself drawn to Webster, and they embarked on an illicit affair. When she wanted to end it, he couldn’t let her go and consequently Ingrid’s world imploded.

In the present we join Ingrid as she’s finally rebuilding her life. Then tragedy strikes as Ingrid’s mentor and friend Belinda dies. Ingrid suspects she was the intended target, but the police aren’t convinced. Alone and in free-fall, Ingrid has no idea who she can turn to.

And then Webster reappears in Ingrid’s life making a sensational claim - that someone is out to kill Ingrid and only he can protect her. But can Ingrid trust Webster? As the body count rises, Ingrid races to reveal the killer and save herself.

What the press said:

“Ripe, pulpy melodrama.”

— The Guardian

“The writers neatly arrange the twists and reveals to ensure each episode has a few surprises in store.”

— The Radio Times

“A pretty flawless crime thriller - this is a compelling show about the limitations of the justice system in sexual harassment cases. Excellently-paced and satisfyingly unpredictable, the combination of Ingrid and John’s fatal attraction-esque relationship and the plot’s incessant twists and turns makes for a proper hold-your-breath affair.”
