As an engaging detective story that makes the most of its premise, the series doesn't have as much to offer. But as a globe-hopping mystery that makes for effortless viewing, there are worse ways to spend a few hours. Go to Full Review

The series is groaning with stereotypes about Indians, bad accents and poor humour. Go to Full Review

India-set murder mystery is gentle and easygoing. Go to Full Review
Jacob Oller Paste Magazine Dec 26, 2017
Many shows are bad and many shows are inconsistent. Few are as transparently confused about how to use their component parts as The Indian Detective. Go to Full Review
Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Dec 20, 2017
Shatner is almost effortlessly good -- he exudes menace as easily as he releases carefree silliness in the new season of Better Late Than Never. Go to Full Review
David Bianculli TV Worth Watching Dec 19, 2017
... seek and ye shall find a very entertaining series, in the same delightful fish-out-of-water vein as Paul Haggis' sparkling Due South. Go to Full Review

Pat P @RT64480128 Jan 24, 2024 The lead actor is engaging and mildly funny, but the first ep convinced me that the show was just going to kind of muddle along predictable paths, so I bailed on it. See more May 2, 2022 Bad acting, bad plot, bad understanding of the landscape (India) of where the series is set. I don't think this series was researched at all as literally everything is a stereotype. The accent of the main cast speaking Hindi is so bad that it makes listening to the dialogue difficult. I had to mute the sound and read subtitles for my sanity - which didn't help much because the script was so poorly written with jokes that didn't land even once. See more david l @gobland Apr 25, 2022 Full of convenient plot twists and inferred outcomes that don't make much sense, but if you enjoy this as a light comedy first and have blind faith in the serious back story, it's amusing enough. See more Jun 21, 2021 I've finished Episode 1. Cliche and superficial. An Indian Mills & Boon churn churn formula. Totally switched this thing off. See more Jun 13, 2020 The Indian Detective was fun and different. See more Feb 18, 2020 Great fun. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Hope they make more. And Mishqah Parthiephal is a treat. See more Read all reviews
