Here's how to watch Protection online from anywhere, ITV's dark new six-part series starring Happy Valley's Siobhan Finneran and ex-Coronation Street star Katherine Kelly.
UK viewers can watch Protection online on ITVX now. And it doesn’t matter if you’re out of the country, either, as you can watch Protection on ITVX from anywhere with a VPN.
Protection is based on an idea by a witness protection specialist who served in the Met for 30 years and looked after a number of high-profile cases and informants, including, war criminals, terrorists and criminals of all kinds.
Detective Inspector Liz Nyles (Siobhan Finneran) is "personally compromised by an affair with a colleague, but determined to fight back, and uncover the true source of corruption within her unit. To redeem herself, the reputation of her lover, and to keep her witnesses safe. Even if they don’t always deserve it".
The makers add: "Navigating the morally-grey, clandestine world of witness protection, Liz’s mission to find the truth will take her deep into the heart of the criminal underbelly and beyond as she becomes more and more torn between caring for her family, her loyalty to her lover and her duty as a police officer. This is the story of a smart, tough cop, out of her depth in a world where nothing is as it seems.
"With a deft narrative that engages from the outset, [writer] Kris Mrksa creates suspenseful twists and with every hairpin turn perfectly navigates the story to ensure the audience won’t know who to believe and who is telling the truth."
