Collateral is a 2018 four-part BBC/Netflix crime drama miniseries, written by David Hare and directed by S. J. Clarkson. The cast includes Carey Mulligan, John Simm, Billie Piper, and Nicola Walker.
A pizza delivery man is murdered while on a delivery run in suburban London, and the detectives quickly discover the case is more complicated than it looks...
Collateral contains examples of:
- Jerkass: Spence, the MI5 man. He's even proud of it: "I'm just a midlevel British racist, but..."
- Crapsack World: Everyone is damaged, cruel, desperate, lonely, or all of the above.
- The Vicar: Jane Oliver, who does her best to be the Good Shepherd in a very bleak world, even if it means losing her girlfriend to keep her position.
