Nina Metz Chicago Tribune 09/01/2023
The show’s slow-burn, deep-dive approach doesn’t work when it’s chopped up into chapters that unfold over a month-plus. This time out, I had the benefit of binging all six episodes, and that works to the show’s benefit. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 07/03/2023
4/5
The beauty of this drama is the way it allows us to emotionally invest in both police and suspects. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 06/13/2023
4/5
Chris Lang has done a clever thing. Knowing that most of the audience, and all of the team at Bishop Street station, think that Cassie is irreplaceable, Lang hasn’t attempted a like-for-like swap. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider 09/08/2023

Patricia W. @Patwardraleigh Jun 19 So convoluted and needlessly confusing. I’m burnt out on the drama and plot lines. Unfortunately a waste of time. See more jimmer s @RT84670788 Sep 30 I am a fan of this series. But the changes in the cast were not particularly successful. This season’s story line was weakly constructed and full of unsympathetic characters. It seems the writers sacrificed pace and story integrity to try and make political statements about the British welfare state and social class. I think you could skip this season unless you are desperate. Not terrible but a step down from previous seasons. See more Linda W @RT15964962 Sep 7 It is just so morose! The new replacement is too unemotional. See more Rachel F @RT92875633 02/13/2025 I am not connecting well with Nicola Walker’s replacement unfortunately. I am finding series 5 difficult to stay interested in. Such a shame they they had to kill off Nicola Walker’s character :( See more andyth55 T @AndyTh55 01/11/2025 The most disappointing of all the 5 series. Apart from the loss of the excellent Nicola Walker, this series lacked any real feel to it and the plot, thought promising, just became a bit disjointed in the end and the final episode was a real disappointment. Hopefully Series 6 will be back to form. See more rashid W @RW2021 10/28/2024 Terrible fall from good TV. New lead just doesn’t work. Story not that interesting of a story. Very pedestrian. Lots more WokeyCokey. What a way to muller a OK TV series. Just really don’t care about any of these characters. See more Read all reviews
