When American student Molly is murdered while studying in London, her roommate, Grace, becomes the prime suspect in the crime. Being thrust into the spotlight makes Grace a popular target for people in the media and on social media. Hoping to help clear her sister's name, Natalie leaves her life in Boston to go to London to defend Grace, assisted by ethically questionable lawyer Stan. As new information starts to come out, ugly truths emerge that force Natalie to question whether her sister is innocent. Natalie and Stan eventually realize that the mystery surrounding Molly's death goes all the way up to the royal family.

Maureen Ryan Variety 06/14/2016
Its characters are predictably written, the dialogue is average at best, and Grace in particular does so many dumb things that it's hard to care about what happens to her. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/13/2016
Guilt is such a mess of feigned and failed authenticity and feigned and failed vulgarity that it's most uncomplicated pleasure comes from watching Zane basically play a hybrid of James Spader's characters from The Practice and The Blacklist. Go to Full Review Alex McLevy AV Club 06/13/2016

Despite being quite literally pulled from one of the more salacious international crime stories of the past decade, Guilt can't stop adding jokers to its house of cards, continually knocking the whole structure down in a tizzy of frenetic gamesmanship.

4/5
Deliciously far-fetched and nicely warped in a peculiarly Scottish way, it is the most impressive small screen debut since Tutti Frutti. Go to Full Review Markie Robson-Scott The Arts Desk 10/31/2019

09/13/2021 I couldn't get past the first 45 minutes. Bleak, depressing, not one likable character. Inklings that it would get worse, gratuitous violence and senseless treachery to come. Sorry, no thank you, Masterpiece. See more 12/18/2019 Delete Review. Wrongy posted here. I have watched Guilt 2019, not this one from 2016. See more 05/28/2018 Clearly aping the Camera Style of the csi stuff, (and to be clear, I don't like those either) and mimicking the Feel of them too, this British drama tries too Hard to appeal to the Same demographic. Short pants? Cell phone? What British Copper uses THOSE Words? Only Yen Minutes in and I was struggling. We're way past this, aren't we? Both recentBritish period dramas and continental offerings of vastly more Sophistication and intrigue are out There. The Scandinavians must watch this stuff as comedies. I'd say it was easy fare. But if I'm watching a murder mystery, that's exactly What I don't want. See more 03/25/2018 Typical of how America sees London. We don't have prison cells like they showed Grace locked in. Wish they would get simple facts correct. Apart from which it was compulsive viewing so many twists and turns. I didn't like the ending though. Unless it is leading to a 2nd series. See more 10/28/2017 I've awarded a star to the cast in recognition of their amazing efforts to find some truth in the ridiculous plot and painfully creaky dialogue. The second star is for the DP and team. No guilt, no pleasure. Anything positive to say?... just glad that it kept the cast and crew in work. See more 10/26/2017 Great cast, and really good narrative See more Read all reviews
