Informer

• Informer - is a British thriller series - Drama and it tells us the story of the infiltration of a London Pakistani (2nd generation) who becomes (we force his hand) informant for the anti-terrorism police. The idea for this series is very good and we feel the desire to know more as soon as we realize the development of the plot. A small stressful atmosphere is felt then the main character evolves in an environment that was completely foreign to him before. We feel very well all the psychological pressure and ill-being of this informant who is admirably well interpreted by: "Nabhaan Rizwan" in the role of (Raza Shar, the informant) other roles are also valued in this series as: "Paddy Considine"

in the role of Gabe Waters and "Bel Powley" in the role of Holly Morten being the counterterrorism agents who follow Raza Shar the informer. Personally I did not find that the end of this series was in line with the story and we could even say that it is surprising in more ways than one, but that will not spoil the interpretation of the facts. A good series to discover. I say no more, would reveal a little too much, believe me it is worth it.

This is the best British crime series I have seen since I really can't recall. The plot is genius, the writers have simply done a perfect job, the camera work is brilliant, and it all just oozes of a director, cast and crew having a hell of a time. The main actors are basically fantastic, with main character actor Nabhaan Rizwan making a highly believable portray of a young English Pakistani, who develops from an ordinary youngster into a very life experienced man. Rizwan is utterly outstanding with his interpretation and must have made quite a breakthrough with this role. The only reasons for not giving top score to this production are sadly and only a few some less credible acting performances.

As a third gen Pakistani I could understand the complexity of family life. The series has it's flaws but is entertaining. Left me thinking about the show long after I had finished viewing.

A lot of food for thought. Would definitely recommend.

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

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.
