If you like stories of corruption and police dramas full of hard-hitting twists, "Pierre" will surely be the next show on your watchlist. It's a detective series about a duty solicitor who will stop at nothing to find out who killed his young, Black client.

That question will lead him to turn the screw on his co-workers in the police force as he discovers a web of institutional corruption.

Starring David Harewood, who you may have seen in "Homeland" and "Supergirl", in his first lead role, "Pierre" will run for six episodes with a cast that also includes "1917" star Dean-Charles Chapman, Michele Austin, Jason Flemyng, Christopher Fairbank, and Sara Powell. You can either watch the episodes weekly or binge them all in one go.

If you're ready to try and solve the murder, we'll show you how to watch "Pierre" online from anywhere.
