The Guardian Rachel Aroesti

Dec 4, 2024

It’s the sort of comedy that lives or dies by its delivery, and these two [Gbemisola Ikumelo and Hammed Animashaun] are pitch perfect. Read full review

The Telegraph Benji Wilson

Dec 4, 2024

[Dom and Kay's] path from quiet contempt to acceptance and friendship is beautifully written and exceptionally well performed. It’s also consistently funny, as is Black Ops as a whole. Mainly this is because the thriller element – will the drugs gang rumble the keystone cops? – remains thrilling. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Dec 4, 2024

The comedy ends up somewhere between the slapstick of The Wrong Mans and the dialogue-driven farce of Nightingales. For a show whose premise is predicated on systemic racism, police corruption and drug-fuelled murder, it lacks a bit of bite. And despite a clever title, which conjures images of brutal hitjobs and nerve-jangling interrogations, Black Ops always plays it safe. Read full review

Radio Times Abby Robinson

Dec 4, 2024

The first two episodes, which were the only ones made available for review, do a solid job of drawing you in as Dom and Kay's predicament lurches from one extreme to another. If you're able to suspend your disbelief and lean into the chaos, Black Ops does more than enough to keep you entertained. Read full review
