Criminal: Royaume-Uni

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

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.

It is intense , gripping ,engaging and intelligent Police Procedural Show . It keeps you guessing . Intelligent writing clubbed with good direction and good acting . I will recommend to watch all the Criminal shows Germany France UK.

I saw David Tenant in the UK version so I watched it. Very good! Then, after 3 Episodes, it went to "Criminal: Spain". ???? Same set. Same room, chairs, buttons clock, etc.

Then, I found "Criminal: Germany" and "Criminal: France". It's a really cool concept. You see the same setting where exactly the same skill set is being used. It's eye opening to the difference of the legal systems in all these counties. This is also something only an online global streaming service could pull off because off the reach in all these countries. I mean, could you see anyone but Netflix, Hulu, Amazon able to use the same set for 4 + different series in that many different countries?

Watch all of them. Guaranteed not to be a waste of time.

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!
