The Guardian Rebecca Nicholson

Nov 8, 2023

Season 1 Review: In an era saturated with heist thrillers, Culprits is one of the good ones: smart, exciting and very, well, slick. Read full review

Collider Maggie Boccella

Season 1 Review: Though the ultimate prize at the end turns out to be a disappointment, the journey to get there is still one to watch. Culprits never plays its full hand, not even with David, creating an unreliable narrator for a modern age where neither technology can be trusted nor the ones you love the most. Read full review

Season 1 Review: All in all, it’s fast-paced and flashy, and it feels emotionally honest, at least in the characterization of the two romantic leads who form the heart of the story. Does it completely revolutionize the heist-show formula? Of course not. But there is enough style and substance for it to leave a strong impression. Read full review

Season 1 Review: After a strong start, with the series immediately drawing you in and holding you there, the final couple of episodes fall flat. But there is much to enjoy about Culprits, with Stewart-Jarrett's performance as David a particular highlight. He's the beating heart of this story, as he desperately scrambles to protect his family from the impending hellfire that is 'Devil' - another highlight - and in his more emotional, tender scenes, he shines.

Season 1 Review: There is flair, fun and finesse here, particularly in the performance and staging, but overall, Culprits is a stickup series that doesn’t quite pull off the heist. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Dec 8, 2023

Season 1 Review: The eight episodes are too cruel and brutal to satisfy the “fun heist” genre, and judged on its own merits, the show fails to marry its two halves. BEFORE and NOW feel like separate shows, both incomplete and neither all that satisfying. Read full review

The Telegraph Ed Power

Nov 8, 2023

Season 1 Review: Culprits never comes close to sealing the deal. As Reservoir Dogs tributes go, this one is a bit of a howler. Read full review
