Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Ellis very much is the first series in which Sharon D Clarke has played the lead role, which seems incredible given the breadth of her talent, one that has bagged her three Olivier awards Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2024 Full Review Keith Watson Daily Telegraph (UK) ... It’s the interplay between this latest twist on the chalk and cheese duo, not the sotto voce sleuthing, which might just mark Ellis out from the crowd. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2024 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Ms. Clarke makes her daunting and likable, no small accomplishment, but the only way the show could survive. Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider We like Clarke’s strong, stoic presence as DCI Ellis in Inspector Ellis, which is why we’re recommending the show. But we hope the series has less-confusing and more-engaging mysteries... Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

K F Great show. The chemistry and relationship between the two leads is an awesome addition but in true Brit crime drama style, it does not overtake from the procedural story or become American-style maudlin. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Mattias L Liked it a lot, Sharon D clarke is wonderful as Ellis. Acting is brilliant as always in british crime drama. But I am not convinced by the writing/script as the others in there reviews. Hopefully it will get a chance on a second season. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review Broken B Incredibly well written and played with interesting lead characters and complex Storylines without the constant violence, American detective series portray, this is a must watch for detective series. As usual, European programming is far more interesting and intellectual than similar programming in the US. Available on Acorn TV. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Deb M Excellent writing with well laid out red herrings and twists to keep audience guessing until the reveals. Supurb acting from the leads. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Kim H Fabulous writing, brilliant that each episode is individual. Excellent acting and cast. Cant wait for season 2 channel 5. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Paul D Sharon Clarke is wonderful! Good stories and good characters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
