Ed Cumming Independent (UK) Jan 7, 2022
4/5
The supporting cast are uniformly strong, especially Nsengiyumva as a gangster with a few surprises up his sleeve, but the whole thing revolves around Adewunmi. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) Dec 21, 2021
4/5
I've awarded it four stars because the conceit is different and makes you think -- can someone be morally in the right while legally in the wrong? -- and the performances were all so strong. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Jul 6, 2022
4/5
The well-written, skillfully told four-part crime series offers an engaging narrative that never quite ends. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Jun 17, 2022
You Don’t Know Me is a pretty smart crime show told in a way that feels completely unnecessary. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Dec 23, 2021
3/5

Luka H @RT11280971 Jun 12, 2026 A truly captivating story and fine acting. Haven't seen a crime drama remotely as good since Eastern Promises. See more Julia T @RT12093029 Jun 4, 2025 Amazing cast and acting. I don’t normally like gang dramas but the storyline in this was so moving it kept me gripped to my seat! See more Paul C @RT72642012 Feb 28, 2025 No ending. I guess you're supposed to pick whatever ending you want but that's a terrible idea in my opinion ..would not recommend this show to anyone See more Henk M @RT06649920 Feb 11, 2025 Tempo of this story is much too slow. The whole story could be put in 2 episodes See more Ing Lai O @RT59475200 Dec 12, 2024 stupid show. wasted my precious time.
