River is a six-part British television drama series, created and written by Abi Morgan and starring Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker. The series was commissioned by Charlotte Moore and Ben Stephenson. The executive producers are Jane Featherstone, Manda Levin, Abi Morgan and Lucy Richer. Vicki Power of the Daily Express reported Skarsgård saying of his role as DI River, “There’s not much research you can do because his condition doesn’t really exist as we know it. But it doesn’t make it less truthful.

Describing how she addressed the subject of living with voices in your head, as River does, Morgan told the BBC, “I know from myself, I talk out loud. I’ve got children and they say to me ‘mummy, you talk to yourself all the time’. I realised how much I do have other people in my head and what a comfort they are to me. Talking about recording the scenes involving manifests, Skarsgård said: “How we practically do it is we usually shoot the scene first with the actor who plays the manifest and then we shoot the same scene exactly the same way but without anybody there. It looks fantastic, because you walk around, you gesture and talk to somebody that isn’t there and it’s quite interesting visually. Filming took place across at least eight London Boroughs – Lambeth, Islington, Camden, Hackney, Southwark, Redbridge, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Lewisham.

Detective Inspector John River is haunted by visions of his recently murdered colleague, Detective Sergeant Jackie ‘Stevie’ Stevenson. He continues in his attempts to find her killer although excluded from the case on the grounds of his proximity to the events surrounding it. At Stevie’s wake, River has to deal with her brother Jimmy and other family members. Stevie had been estranged from them for many years because she had given crucial evidence in court against Jimmy, which resulted in a lengthy prison sentence for murder.

Her subsequent decision to become a policewoman had further deepened the rift with her family. River clashes with his new partner Ira, who wants to disclose the discovery of Stevie’s second mobile phone to their superiors. River agrees to do so, but makes it clear that he wants to personally pursue the leads the phone has provided first. Simultaneously, he and Ira investigate the serious injury of a construction site’s foreman in a suspicious workplace accident.
