What to Know

Critics Consensus

Next of Kin brings a fresh perspective to thriller television -- with Archie Panjabi compellingly negotiating an increasingly twisty familial mystery -- although some of the complex and culturally sensitive issues at play may have been served by a more cerebral series.

There was plenty to enjoy, especially Punjabi's performance in the lead. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 04/15/2019
It was, if nothing else, refreshing to see a Muslim family portrayed so naturally. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) 07/10/2018

I've run out of space for Next Of Kin. Go to Full Review Eleanor Bley Griffiths Radio Times 04/15/2019
The opener leaves you frustrated and only vaguely wondering what happens next - and for a "thriller" that's a problem. Go to Full Review Daisy Wyatt iNews.co.uk 01/26/2019
This is a gritty tale of the dark tensions at play in the world today. With its central focus on Kareem's family, the stakes are clear, the narrative is easy to follow and the characters are relatable. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 09/05/2018
Yet, Next of Kin shows every sign not merely of shaping it into a proper thriller, but also of allowing it to emerge from a thoroughly imagined family story, rather than imposing it on one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jeff S 04/21/2024 Well acted..plot has some weird holes but overall pretty See more James R @Pennsylvania 01/26/2024 Dumb nonsensical plot. Here's an example...she gets rescued from the hideout of terrorists who at that very moment are actively carrying out a huge terrorist raid on London. Keep in mind she's the only person available who's even talked to the terrorists...and so what's the police's next move? They let her go to her kid's soccer game! Here's another, bad guy terrorist has a knife to the throat of the lady's nephew. Keep in mind he only has a knife, and he's surrounded by a dozen secret service guys. Next move? Let's shoot them both! At close range! I know streaming services have to keep coming up with new material, but can you at least hire a 7th grader or such to vet some of these dopey plots?
