-
Well directed and shot with plenty of night-time city lights bokeh, Criminal Record is perfectly paced over its hour-long instalments, and hits the right notes when it comes to issues of modern Britain (generational conflict; institutional failures; loneliness).
-
Unglamorous in the extreme, the series explores the grubby gears of police bureaucracy — and the racist results they generate — through a psychodrama that develops between two detectives working for the Metropolitan police. That might sound predictable. The show is not. .... Jumbo and Capaldi are powerhouses.
-
Cleverly walks this line throughout its solid first season, juggling the issues of race, bias, and ethics with dexterity as it builds its central puzzle. That juggling act is occasionally bungled a bit by the show’s heavy-handedness, but even amid its most forced winks at the audience, Criminal Record holds itself up with a tremendous pair of central performances.
