Carol Midgley 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

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 Linda W I love these intelligent stories. The run-time is perfect for telling the stories well. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Elizabeth F Really enjoying this program with a very relatable and intelligent character. Hoping for more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Marlo L Best show since Endeavor ended. (I'm still mourning it's end because it was brilliantly written and portrayed) Since then nothing interesting enough to watch that's not full of bad language and "sexual situations" (although the first episode gave me an earful.) I have loved seeing the characters' personalities unfold and reveal themselves to each other it's refreshing to see what could be like a mother and son working together as a team to solve crimes. I've been looking for a character like hers that's not cold separate for no reason as if people don't feel. She is warm and motherly toward her partner in crime solving. You could see a mentor and mentoree relationship unfolding. I love how you don't know who committed the crime until the end as they figure it out. It's just well written I've been looking forward to something like this it's beautiful. May be the salve for my broken Endeavor heart. Lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Paul C Multi faceted plots and some really excellent acting and casting. Intriguing plots. Would welcome another series. One of the better police series of recent times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
