Watch Coldwater online
Lincoln plays John, a reserved stay-at-home dad quietly raging with a life he perceives as painfully mundane. Following a violent playground confrontation in which he failed to act, John insists on a change of pace for his family, moving them to the seemingly idyllic village of Coldwater in rural Scotland.
Once there, John quickly befriends neighbour Tommy (Ewen Bremner) despite protests from his wife Fiona (Indira Varma). But following a series of unsettling incidents, including an outpouring of John’s repressed rage, it becomes clear that Tommy’s ‘pillar of the community’ persona is far from the truth, with the new neighbour harbouring some terrifying secrets.
Teased as the “story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous,” Coldwater is not to be missed for fans of dark, twisted thrillers, so read on and find out how to watch Coldwater online and from anywhere.

What can viewers expect from Coldwater?
The official synopsis from ITV teases: “Andrew Lincoln makes his long-awaited return to British drama in this twisted thriller about an ordinary man who finds himself in an extraordinary situation. John (Lincoln) secretly rages at his life as a middle-aged, stay-at-home dad.
When his failure to intervene in a violent confrontation in a city playground brings his identity crisis to a head, John moves his family to the rural idyll of Coldwater. On arrival, he is befriended by neighbour Tommy (Bremner), a charming, confident pillar of the community. John is impressed by Tommy. However, he is blissfully unaware that Tommy is harbouring horrifying secrets.
When John’s long-repressed rage finally explodes with disastrous results, he finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend. But how long will it take for him to figure out just how dangerous Tommy really is?”
