Critical Incident is a fantastic new show! It is the best on tv this year so far. Great to see an Australian show do so well on Stan. Amazing plot and really interesting characters. The show embraces diversity and this comes through the script and actor selection. The script is really written so well - very talented writer to create so much drama and suspense.
Critical Incident is one of those shows you just want to binge watch all the episodes in one go. The show really has lived up to all the hype in the lead up to the show. Great to put a good Aussie show on the world stage. Can't wait to see if there is a season 2!!!!!

... the genre is plentiful... most are passable entrants, few are very, very good... Critical Incident happens to be one of the latter... lots going on, at a pace at times relentless
.. propulsive storytelling, top performances and authentically lived-in settings lift this smart and gripping series.. is the lead in on one recent critic's review, and it's accurate... few world over do it better than in this latest-new Australian series
... read the analysis-review of Anthony Morris... it's straight, why this production is just sooo good, not-2b-missed-TV (especially if you love a fully well made crime-drama)... really looking forward where they take us in season two... binged in-a-day, now to wait till next year.

I want to trash talk this so much, but I found myself binge watching the complete series in one night.
Quality of camera work, production and casting, draws you into the characters stories within the story and true to todays culture.
Im rating this a Solid 7 and look forward to more Australian productions being released.
Hope theres more series to come, because it can't end on ep6.
The use of multi ethnicities is classic Australian and New Zealand relate able. A very easy plot to follow along, but more importantly the casting.. i felt as though they were relatable and the adult themes going on within.
I enjoyed this .. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

The show is ok, it manages to stretch the tension between characters and the overarching story. The pacing is good and you can empathise with some of the characters choices.
Its such a shame that none of the actors sound like they are from that part of Sydney. Bankstown has a distinct accent and vocabulary which is missing. Its a shame as it would have added colour and authenticity, and would have meant it needed subtitles for everyone else to understand the dialogue. Instead the actors sound like they are from the wealthier parts of Sydney. Image setting something in Brooklyn New York with actors cast from Texas (an exaggeration but you can understand the analogy). Still worthwhile.

I saw the trailer for the show and became instantly excited. It's been a while since there's been a decent Australian cop show.
The first half of episode 1 was good, I liked it. Everything following - painful to watch.
If you find human beings in Blacktown, NSW (where the story is set) acting the way they do in the show, I will eat my own underpants.
I felt embarrassed watching the characters interact. Shameful.
The redeeming quality (and that's where the 5/10 comes from) is the lead actor who plays the policeman embroiled in turmoil: Zil.
Waste of potential. Disappointing. Cringey. It could've been great.
To sum up, the biggest thing for me was this:
One of the main/side characters, Hayden, is supposed to be a minor drug dealer, West Sydney lad complete with a rat tail. He could have been an iconic character. Instead, he comes off like a rich Uni drama student play-acting at what he thinks someone in that position would be like. God it makes me shudder.
