Season 1 Review:
Nagra held her own well enough at the centre of the narrative, and Ryan McKen was excellently simmering as Navin Kapoor, the wrongly accused brother of the dead man’s girlfriend, but many of the other supporting performances fell flat, which distracted from the otherwise authentic world-building.

Season 1 Review:
[Rachita] may not be quite the conduit into South Asian culture that the department is seeking, but she does have an innate skepticism about the presumed guilty. That gives something of a kick to "D.I. Ray," even if its principal agenda seems more about resentment than detection.

Season 2 Review:
The issues drag everything else down. If you want viewers to become hooked by a detective series, you need to pour your energies into the crime. Ray has become so mired in misery over her treatment that it distracts from everything else, and also blinds her to the fact that she is deservedly in trouble half the time for ignoring orders and going into dangerous situations without the required back-up.
