06/09/2022 This is acting, dialogue and direction at its absolute worst. Paddy Considine delivers lines like they were spoken (and written) by a ten year old, and the script is so poorly stuck together it beggars belief. Rizwan copes better than most, and one can only think this was his foot on the ladder, because it should never have got past the commissioning stage. Absolute garbage. See more Per S @RT83737705 01/26/2022 The Informer is absolutely thrilling and entertaining, a different and intelligent crime drama where you are really pulled into the plot and get a feeling for basically real characters. With hardly a dull moment and solid acting performances, it's easy to continue with a new episode, and Nabhaan Rizwan is outstanding in the leading role as Raza. Perhaps not everything is all too realistic, but with a sincere focus on so many interesting and important sub issues and social elements, that regardlessly becomes irrelevant. Writing this it's been two years since I watched the series, but I'm truly considering a rewatch. See more 05/12/2021 I was on the edge of my seat right to the end. There were enough plot twists and misdirections to keep the suspense up. Can't wait for season 2. See more 01/31/2021 Informer is a good story that despite its subject matter, manages to avoid many of the clichés this genre typically suffers from (this holds true for the finale in particular). Most of the characters are far from shallow and have arcs which develop well over time. Perhaps Holly's character could have had a little more depth, I found myself wanting to know more about why she is the way she is. Is she on the spectrum, does she have Asperger's? But then again, I feel that by not highlighting this, the writers are asking the audience to not focus on it as a key feature of the story. It might be a little uncomfortable for an audience to watch a character on the spectrum without the fact first being announced. However, Holly's potential autism shouldn't define her much as a white character's 'whiteness' rarely defines them or would ever be announced. If it were the intention to normalise autism, I can only congratulate the writers. It's also brilliant to see a BBC show that doesn't look at the working class through a middle class lens. It challenges stereotypes simply by painting its characters as individuals, as such, they come across as very genuine. Coupled with great dialog, cinematography and incredible performances from Nabhaan Rizwan (Raza) and Roger Jean Nsengiyumva (Dadir), Informer is a must watch. See more 01/29/2021 Absolutely loved this series. I binge watched it within 2 days. Really liked the actors especially Raza, his acting was brilliant. I hope there will be a season 2!!!
