Criminal: UK

A superb 3 part unique cop / villain type show that is the best thing on Netflix series of 2019 so far. 4 different 3 parters this one based in the U. K. The others based in Spain, France and Germany. Having already watched 2 of the Spanish episodes I can vouch that I will be a fan. I have decided to rate each country separately. This would have been a 10 but the 3rd episode just missed the mark for me.

The coppers in each country are the same and have enough background for a season 2, the suspects and stories vary so far apart and you will be surprised by the ending of some.

Once again Netflix show the States that the U. K. and Europe can not just match them now but exceed them.

This as all the potential of Black Mirror status.

Please please don't dump this Netflix

Don't understand why this series has some negative reviews. I find it to be a smart and engaging police drama. Want more episodes, please!

This show will appeal best to hardcore TV watchers/Netflix fans. A 'claustrophobic' show with an engaging story, best watched in a confined room, preferably in bed on a cold day, with curtains drawn. :) truly binge-worthy material.

I have a feeling that Netflix doesn't want to be just another US company doing business worldwide. It wants to become "the world's TV" and the "criminal franchise" is a bold step in the right direction.

I've just watched the opening episode for Criminal-UK. David Tennant was incredible, what a performance! I didn't know if I would like the interview-style set-up but it keeps you on your toes the whole way. Great suspense. I'm looking forward to watching the other episodes, but the show definitely started out strong!

Just extract the interview part of the standard police show and that's this show, but in a detailed and intense viewpoint.

No fun here, no back stories, your dropped straight into the need for a confession at the moment, the actors throw themselves into it with gusto, this show offers them the opportunity to act.

In all entertaining but gritty.
