US EditionChannel 5 viewers 'switch off' as they issue same complaint about The Game
- Channel 5 will air the new drama The Game starting at 9 pm on Monday, May 12, 2025.
- The show follows former detective Huw Miller settling into retirement while suspecting his new neighbour Patrick is linked to an unsolved case.
- Patrick behaves over-friendlily and uses a phrase the Ripton Stalker once taunted Huw with, which triggers Huw’s suspicions about him.
- Robson Green explained that when Patrick uses the same phrase the stalker once sent in letters, it stirs a reaction in Huw, leading him to believe he has identified the culprit, though it remains unclear whether Huw is correct or losing his grip on reality.
- The Game’s four episodes air from May 12 to May 15, exploring a tense cat-and-mouse dynamic that leaves viewers questioning Patrick’s true nature and Huw’s judgement.
