Season 5 Review: Yes, the script is, at times, a smidge on the lazy side (at one point, Frank says, “You just don’t get it, do you!” a phrase which appears so often on the screen that it really needs to be banned). But the tension stays high, and Brighton is as salty a backdrop as one might hope. With three more episodes to come, Sunday night is in safe hands. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Grace and Branson’s race to find Michael made for truly nail-biting TV and there were great performances, with Simm as watchable as ever as the shrewd yet vulnerable Grace. Read full review

Season 2 Review: With complex protagonists, hateful crooks and plausible stooges, Grace may not have been quite amazing, but has earned its coveted spot among ITV’s crime perennials. Read full review

Season 2 Review: If you weren't depressed before you will have been by 10pm, unless of course snuff porn is your thing. I think this is our new Vera. The weirdest thing of all is that it wasn't totally terrible. This was mainly down to John Simm playing Roy Grace. ... The other positive thing about it was the character of DS Norman Potting, played by Craig Parkinson. ... Thanks also to Richie Campbell and Amit Shah there was enough to keep watching. Although I wish I hadn't. Read full review

Season 5 Review: The element of suspense was done well early on, with the seconds ticking to the final whistle when the bomb was due to go off. .... The shenanigans over the kidnapping of the two schoolboys was unconvincing and unnecessarily complicated. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The plot of the BritBox version is truly insane, apparently much like the book, and it’s only thanks to the solid, empathetic performance of John Simm (“Trauma,” “Dr. Who”) as Grace that things don’t go totally off the rails. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Aside from the show’s failings as a compelling episode – its uneven pacing, heavy-handed clues and drab dialogue – the biggest problem was its treatment of its female characters. Read full review
