John Anderson Wall Street Journal 07/07/2023
That gives something of a kick to “D.I. Ray,” even if its principal agenda seems more about resentment than detection. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 06/14/2023
A depiction of systemic racism lodged inside a murder case, this British police thriller is a post-Line of Duty series, produced by that hit show’s Jed Mercurio and eventually boasting a similar swift narrative velocity. Go to Full Review Sean O'Grady Independent (UK) 05/05/2022
4/5
Low key in tone and atmosphere, DI Ray, cop and show, that is, deserves to be a success. Mercurio ticks another box. Go to Full Review Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) 08/10/2023
5/5
DI Ray draws you in within the first twenty seconds of the cold open and has you hooked by the opening credits. DI Ray is the kind of police procedural that any actor would love to be a part of. Go to Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media 07/19/2023
3/5
PBS mystery series are practically a mini-genre unto themselves, and this British import follows standard operating procedure. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 07/12/2023
The main reasons to watch DI Ray are Parminda Nagra’s lead performance and the theme of her fighting against bias in her department. We just wish the case being investigated, and some of the characters surrounding Ray, were more compelling. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paul T @RT04152652 Sep 18 A great British crime drama See more kitty r @RT19706827 12/14/2024 I have rarely seen such a wooden actress. She has all the charisma of a plank of wood. Her co-stars were really struggling to get more than the smallest facial movement out of her. The storyline was watchable, but the constant racial agenda turned it into a boring pity party. See more Electric Picture Hall T @RT56891997 10/20/2024 Just the most wooden acting and unremarkable script. There is nothing here. See more Gerard M @GermWald 08/05/2024 Nothing here to keep me watching - sub-standard story or dialogue - something is not right here - I'm out. See more Will S @WillShetterly 05/21/2024 The plot relies on a coincidence that did not work for me. If reviews for the second season are strong, I will watch it; the problem is not the cast. See more VisAbleBlackwoman P @VisAbleBlackwoman 08/10/2023 It gives a perspective of the police in the UK we rarely get to see. Acting is all top-notch. Compelling writing, lots of surprises, well done! See more Read all reviews
