3.5/5
This kind of gritty specificity is rare for Apple TV – some more would be welcome. Go to Full Review Sarah Dempster Guardian Apr 22
4/5
Criminal Record is not an enormously complex affair. Instead, it offers relatively straightforward and beautifully paced storytelling, its narrative twists emerging like handkerchiefs from a sleeve. The show’s complexity lies in its characters. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 2h
This sharply written drama is anything but routine. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Apr 27
4/5
Criminal Record‘s second season is every bit as gritty and enthralling as its first. Despite a momentary lull in the pacing, Capaldi and Jumbo lead the charge in this exhilarating crime thriller. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Apr 24
As much as we like Jumbo and Capaldi, there’s nothing about Criminal Record‘s second season that holds our interest. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Apr 24
4/5
In vivid colours and cinematic composition, London is made to look like a post-apocalyptic hellhole — so gritty, as I said when I last reviewed the show, that you'll need to take a shower and wash your hair afterwards. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jacqueline N @Jacqueline1966 May 5 What could possibly go wrong with Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi. Top notch police procedural. See more Joseph M @Jjm1006 May 5 A nicely paced story and well scripted It gives a fine cast a good chance to show their ability. See more Young S. @YoungStevie May 2 It took this show less than 5 minutes to bring in a mob of white supremacists into the plot. There’s so much projection on the left that bears no resemblance to reality. For example, there’s an unprecedented surge of antisemitism in the UK yet the show’s first scene depicts a Muslim teenager murdered by whites? After the 100th tv show that does this, it’s reasonable to ask why. On the upside, it’s very well acted high-quality production, etc. See more ELB E @Mulholland Apr 27 I love BBC cop/crime dramas. I love Peter Capaldi. The rest of the cast is great. But this show is monotonous and boring. It seems to fail one of the primary lessons of theater and film: show me, don't tell me. See more christopher T @RT27789286 Apr 24 This show hits hard with real-life themes and doesn't sugarcoat anything. The vibe is immaculate-cinematography, lighting, color grading chef's kiss. Every frame feels intentional. Cast goes crazy too, pure talent across the board. Honestly, it's just a joy to watch. See more Amy B. @Alabama8 Apr 24 Not watching it at all !! Started it nothing but propaganda narrative they ruined it ! See more Read all reviews
