Channel 4 has made all six episodes of the gripping crime drama The Shadow available for free, much to the delight of UK viewers.
The series, hailed as an unmissable addiction, is based on Melanie Raabe's 2021 novel and introduces us to journalist Norah, portrayed by Deleila Piasko, who seeks a fresh start in Vienna.
A stranger's eerie prophecy that she will murder a man named Arthur Grimm within six weeks haunts her upon arrival.

Despite initially dismissing the ominous prediction, Norah finds herself entangled in a web of memory gaps, anonymous threats, and mounting paranoia.
She is tormented by questions about her sanity, her capacity for murder, and the reasons behind these events, reports the Express.
Deleila leads a cast featuring Andreas Pietschmann, Luisa-Celine Gaffron, Vietha Luong, Julia Anna Grob, and Christoph Luser.
The show's blurb tantalises with: "Journalist Norah hears a prophecy that she will kill a man, then unfathomable events begin to dog her steps. What is happening?"
Following its premiere in Germany in 2023, the series was lauded for its "thrilling" psychological depth and quickly became a "must-see".
Winning the Audience Choice Award at the German Seriencamp Festival in 2023, Channel 4's Walter Presents didn't hesitate to snap up the rights.
One viewer was effusive in their praise, saying: "The story is gripping, thrilling, full of twists and turns, many facets, and surprises. Excellent entertainment, as tense as the daily heat in Vienna, which lasts for six weeks until August 13th, and creates a special atmosphere as the series culminates in its grand finale. You practically sweat along with it. The images and the camera capture the story excellently; you're an eyewitness yet still in the dark. Highly recommended!"
Another chimed in with: "The story has many twists and turns, maintaining the suspense until the epic finale. I'm thrilled."
"Wow! What a great psychological story for entertaining and exciting hours of TV. Mysterious moments and great actors make this series a must-see for all fans of the genre," enthused a third, while another added: "Super exciting! I couldn't tear myself away from the TV. The ending was completely unpredictable."
