'I, Jack Wright' Introduces 12 Suspects in a Double Episode Premiere

And you think your family has problems?

I, Jack Wright, the new series from Chris Lang (Unforgotten), kicks off with the apparent suicide of the title character (Trevor Eve), a millionaire on his third wife. As one can imagine, with that many wives, Jack leaves behind many, many confused and not-so-happy family members. They become even more unhappy once it is revealed Jack, unbeknownst to anyone, had changed lawyers and rewritten his will a mere month before his death.

DCI Hector Morgan (Harry Lloyd) and DC Jones (Liz Kingsman) are the detectives assigned to the case. Hector is immediately suspicious of calling Jack’s death a suicide. Who shoots themselves in the chest? “This is going to turn into one of your investigations, isn’t it?” his boss says to him with exasperation. But Hector is right. Jack was murdered, and the suspects are many. The housekeeper tells DC Jones that everyone in the household knew that Jack went alone to tend to his pigeons every night at 10 p.m., which is where Jack’s body was found.
