Baghdad Central

This is a UKB crime drama developed for English languague broadcast TV; there are issues, but I found it well paced and very watchable.

I'm always pleased to see a director post here. The commissioning editor and crew can be proud of this work. There are some well drawn characters, a good plot arc, a touch of intrigue, and some fine scene setting and camera work. Well done.

More knowledgeable folk have been critical here about authenticity. I understand, but this is entertainment. I think the crew made a reasonable effort to offer a local perspective on 'the cradle of civilisation' to their English viewers.

I hope they get funding for another series. If so, I'll be watching.

What a fantastic new show from Channel 4! Superb production values and performances, sophisticated direction and nail-biting script.

The setting of this series sparked my interest - a detective drama, set in the Iraq War. Characters are interesting and keep me engaged. The plot contains enough action and edge of your seat excitement to keep you entertained whilst also allowing enough dialogue for proper character development.

I loved the show and I only gave my review cause obviously we want a 2nd season, please.

A solid offering from , where else , The U.K. I can't say if it is an accurate rendering of life in Iraq after the war and during the occupation but it feels very real and the characters and their motivations, flaws and positive aspects are never black and white. It is everything American Television is not. It is subtle and nuanced and creates drama through the interplay of the characters and their varied objectives ,if you liked ' The Honourable Woman' this series measures up to that one.
