3.5/5
This kind of gritty specificity is rare for Apple TV – some more would be welcome. Go to Full Review
Sarah Dempster Guardian Apr 22
4/5
Criminal Record is not an enormously complex affair. Instead, it offers relatively straightforward and beautifully paced storytelling, its narrative twists emerging like handkerchiefs from a sleeve. The show’s complexity lies in its characters. Go to Full Review
Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) May 14
This sharply written drama is anything but routine. Go to Full Review
Andrew Murray The Upcoming Apr 27
4/5
Criminal Record‘s second season is every bit as gritty and enthralling as its first. Despite a momentary lull in the pacing, Capaldi and Jumbo lead the charge in this exhilarating crime thriller. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Apr 24
As much as we like Jumbo and Capaldi, there’s nothing about Criminal Record‘s second season that holds our interest. Go to Full Review
Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Apr 24
4/5
In vivid colours and cinematic composition, London is made to look like a post-apocalyptic hellhole — so gritty, as I said when I last reviewed the show, that you'll need to take a shower and wash your hair afterwards. Go to Full Review

Robert O @WineBob 5d Great cast, story line and production values, but suffers slightly from a rather slow pace. See more jeffery V @Fatso May 16 Another show with a young black female lead as the heroin sporting a lesbian haircut pitted against the old white male stereotyped villain. In short, all white men are evil and vile, all white men are despicable liars and duplicitous scoundrels. That's the basic theme of this and many other, in fact, most other, shows being made in the modern Era. See more Jacqueline N @Jacqueline1966 May 5 What could possibly go wrong with Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi. Top notch police procedural. See more Joseph M @Jjm1006 May 5 A nicely paced story and well scripted It gives a fine cast a good chance to show their ability. See more Young S. @YoungStevie May 2 It took this show less than 5 minutes to bring in a mob of white supremacists into the plot. There’s so much projection on the left that bears no resemblance to reality. For example, there’s an unprecedented surge of antisemitism in the UK yet the show’s first scene depicts a Muslim teenager murdered by whites? After the 100th tv show that does this, it’s reasonable to ask why. On the upside, it’s very well acted high-quality production, etc. See more ELB E @Mulholland Apr 27 I love BBC cop/crime dramas. I love Peter Capaldi. The rest of the cast is great. But this show is monotonous and boring. It seems to fail one of the primary lessons of theater and film: show me, don't tell me.
