Graeme Blundell The Australian Jun 12
While there is archival footage, there are also clips from Bond movies and Ocean’s Eleven, flashbacks and flash forwards, and enough re-enactments to make the whole enterprise look and feel like an expensive action flick. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian Apr 16
3/5
If you put the really quite serious danger aside and all the suffering the gang members must have caused many innocent people during their long and varied careers out of your mind, it’s a hugely satisfying tale, brilliantly told. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media Nov 11
4/5
Stylistic choices and surprising twists transform what could be a standard documentary into a fast-paced thrill ride. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent Apr 20
2/5
The Diamond Heist could easily have been produced without the involvement of the tiresome Wenham and would have made a tidy 90-minute film. A largely extraneous and anticlimactic third episode pushes it to nearly twice that length. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Apr 17
The stretched nature of the story results in dead moments that belie how action-packed the story is. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Apr 17
1.5/5
The Diamond Heist is an over-the-top docuseries that really gets on your nerves sometimes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Janice F @RT42812688 Jun 17 Too much weird filler. Almost like the Millenium Dome! Didnt care for all the strange filler, graphics and most of the music. They took an interesting and titilating tale and turned it into an strange movie/doc. A straighter story with more players would have been good. Or just using the one point of view but dont make it like a creepy carnival ride. His life story leading up to this pivotal moment and crime for him could have been mapped better for viewer. Went back n forth, you lost track of timeliness of events, etc. A great subject that wasn't projected right. See more SirLallington T @RT16795311 Apr 25 A mischievous documentary about the failed £350 million diamond robbery at the Millennium Dome in 2000. Entertaining enough, but predictable 🧐✌️ See more Michael D @RT54178660 Apr 23 A well-presented, tidy, and entertaining docuseries. It could be seen as a bit over the top, but its production value sets it apart from its peers. See more Andrew D @RT49749702 Apr 18 Way too long and melodramatic. A much simpler story than depicted See more Read all reviews
