Season 2 Review:
Nagra’s performance is convincing and nuanced, even if DI Ray annoyingly wades into situations she is not supposed to. .... The turf war gangster story is less engaging (but then I do find gangster/drugs plots meh), yet it’s warming up. It had an extra boost from the endlessly watchable Michael Socha as the gang kingpin’s son Dave Chapman.

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 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:
Despite the wealth of material writer Maya Sondhi (best known for playing police constable Maneet Bindra in Jed Mercurio’s Line of Duty) doubtless has at her disposal, it is used in the service of giving us a police procedural with a fresh perspective rather than didactically. It lends heft to a story that at times moves a bit too slowly.

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.
