Gareth V @geewah Aug 17 Criminal Record returns with an intense, uncompromising second season that hits hard. It's gritty, suspenseful, and honestly, a bit too real at times. Capaldi and Jumbo remain extraordinary, but the show's wider ambitions occasionally outpace its ability to deliver.

There was some excellent character development and it was great to see the bonding intensify between the two leads, who are both excellent. This season's new featured characters, Dustin Demri-Burns (Cosmo) and Luther Ford (Billy) are fantastic. They're a pair of lost sheep, both trying to figure out their place in the world. For those reviewers who claim that Criminal Record is too "woke" or that white supremacists don't exist or are perfectly harmless, feel free to watch another series that's more to your liking. I'm content with Criminal Record, an intense, thought-provoking drama that's well-shot, well-written and well-acted. I especially like how the series demonstrates that it's sometimes necessary to cross a few moral lines to get the job done. As Peter Capaldi says at one point, "Truth has no currency" with some people in today's world. When dealing with that reality, there's no choice but to fight fire with fire.

They took the show to a new level and had some interesting family themes and struggles. I really enjoy Criminal Record, they have created a dark and mysterious side to police and intelligence. Billy is an insane actor and so was the lead bad guy who also was in Slow Horses. This was a brilliant season and I felt it was actually better than S1 which is rare.

I hope we get to continue this partnership and watch them work together more in the future 🤞 See more Jane L @Mojan May 31 Although this is a good tv series by comparison with others of this type, it is drifting towards cliche in many respects. Only halfway through the fourth episode but it’s really "whack the viewer over the head stuff" with character portrayal and, of course, the obligatory relationship drama between DS June Lenker and John Paul Brownlee is a bit weary.
