The 30-minute thriller has been hailed as one of the best TV shows of 2024by fans on Instagram after they watched the short, which is now available on streamer Channel 4, on Monday.

Asim, 38, previously spoke about Person Of Interest which he described as a Neo-noir inspired by the classic 70s Martin Scorsese film Taxi Driver during an interview on The One Show.
He explained: ‘It is about an Uber driver who is going through grief and loss and he’s working late nights trying to get away from the loudness in his head. He’s having problems with his wife as well.
‘It’s all about identity and expressing emotion and being a man expressing emotion. I feel like sometimes we only have designated areas at the football where we’re allowed to scream and cry but in real life we have to be the strong man.
‘It’s a really beautifully written and complex film.’

Person Of Interest is not the only show to have gripped viewers this week.
They have also been bingeing Paramount Plus political thriller The Agency, which stars Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere and Zoe Saldana.
An English-language remake of French show The Bureau, the political drama follows Martian (Fassbender), a covert CIA agent, ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station.
But when the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites and his career, real identity and mission are pitted against his heart, hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.
The Agency was branded ‘epic television’ in a review by Google user Scott Morgan, while Igor Faygenbaum said it was ‘smart and pithy with sharp dialogue.’
Over on Netflix, fans have been devouring conspiracy thriller The Madness which stars Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo.
In it, he plays media pundit and TV host Muncie Daniels who finds himself framed for the murder of a white supremacist.
On X @rickyramon95, exclaimed: ‘This TV series has amazing. And Colman Domingo is brilliant in it. I was so nervous the entire time. Go binge it now!’
