New thriller series Fear is now available to stream in full on Prime Video, and it sees Line of Duty's Martin Compston and Vigil's Anjli Mohindra play parents whose new home becomes the stuff of nightmares when their downstairs neighbour targets them.

After making inappropriate comments to Mohindra's Rebecca, the neighbour, Jan (Solly McLeod) starts spying on the family via their smart devices, and ends up accusing Rebecca and her husband Martyn (Compston) of abusing their children.
The tension ratchets up across the three episodes, and Compston has now teased that it all comes to a head in a "ballsy" and "brave" ending.
Compston and Mohindra spoke with RadioTimes.com exclusively before the series debuted and, while speaking about the show's director, Justin Chadwick, Compston gave his thoughts on the ending.

Mohindra said: "We didn't have that long, did we? We had eight weeks to shoot three episodes of something this nuanced. It was an amazing feat, but it's him [Chadwick], the way he did that."
Compston added: "And even the ending was quite… the ending is so kind of ballsy. There was a way he shot it, and you think 'nobody else would have done that'.
Alongside Compston, Mohindra and McLeod, the three-part series also stars James Cosmo and Maureen Beattie as Martyn's parents as Allan and Eileen, while Daniel Portman plays his brother Brian and Anneika Rose and Bhav Joshi take on other key roles.
