Informer

Political, personal and a fantastic example of modern television's quality 'Informer' was amazing to be entirely honest. Twisty and masterfully edited the presentation was astounding and full of great performances its only qualms is a bit of a pacing issue cramming a mass amount into only 6 episodes. Other than that I cant speak highly enough and as a one off season it's a piece you must watch, cant recommend enough.

Impeccably directed and produced, a marvelous script delivering an open wound of a story. Well researched and intelligently constructed, it provides a realistic look into modern police procedure and the struggle of survival by those living in today's margins. Hair-raising plot twists that mess with your emotions and loyalties, forcing you to keep adjusting which hero or anti-hero you're rooting for. Nobody is better than the Brits when it comes to these shows (nobody, not even the French) and Informer has just set a new bar in the genre. Not to be missed.

Restore some faith in broken Britain, in multicultural Britain. Paddy Considine is superb! A standout performance for me. All the cast are superb, especially the main household Asian actors. The story to me was better and is a lot more original and unpredictable than The Bodyguard (a recent bbc hit) As per, the early episodes are excellent although the final may seem an anti-climax to some viewers - still a very unexpected hit. Series 2 incoming?

I discovered this on iPlayer and binge watched it in a couple of days. It's a very well done, original, thought provoking and very well acted drama. The lead actor is phenominal in his role as is the actor Roger Jean Nsengiyuma (he gave me a young 2Pac vibes). Great to see some young talent emerging on BBC. I love Jessica Raine, but she is in danger of being type cast. Her character was no different from the character she played in 'The Last Post'. A bored and lonely housewife. She can do better! I recommend this show because it felt very real, it is original and a day later I am still thinking about it. I hope the BBC will do a second season! This show is much much better than 'The Bodyguard'.

This was a good watch up until the revelation of the shooter. It did not make sense and kinda ruined an otherwise good show. Would've given higher than 7 if it wasn't for the poor final episode
