Each episode of "Criminal: UK" has to end somewhere, but it's still surprising how many of them feel artificially finished. Go to Full Review

3/5
Leaving the viewer to work out who is telling the truth, and what version of it they are telling, should be catnip to anyone who loves a good mystery. Go to Full Review

Krystal S. @Krystal Oct 18, 2025 Absolutely captivating 👍👍 See more Hemant S @RT50421404 Aug 5, 2023 After an intriguing first season that saw stories from France, Spain and Germany as well; Criminal: UK returns to Netflix with a second and even more engaging season. What I love most about this content and piece of teleplay is how the concentration is on the screenplay, the dialogue, the acting and expressions – and how it all paints a vivid picture of the events that have transpired, while it all happens in the present from the singular confines of an interrogation room with a tight knit team of investigators. Sophie Okonedo, Kit Harrington, Sharon Horgan and Kunal Nayyar (in a brilliantly contrasting avatar) star as the subjects of scrutiny in the four-episode series – each a thriller in its own sense. However the second and third episode are the most interesting to me, as they open up a plethora of debates in one's mind as the plot swings back and forth between guilty and not. Beautifully executed – could do with more of this fine content in a time when mass production has just thinned out the quality. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 24, 2023 A continuation of what worked in season 1 and thats a good thing. One of the better police procedural shows out there. See more Jun 19, 2022 If S1 was amazing, S2 is brilliant, almost perfect. Cases are still brilliantly dealt with, characters are still interesting and brilliantly portrayed.
