Not all of it works. But the bulk of it does and there are ongoing surprises along the way that deepen the story. ... Even when Informer hits some potholes (and plot holes), it stays on track because Rizwan, Nsengiyumva and Considine never flag in their performances. It's truly great work from all of them.

Where Informer falters, which it markedly does, is with characters whom the writers seem to have assumed they could sketch in easily. Mostly, these are women. ... Informer has its finest moments when it considers the reverberations and repercussions that each person’s behavior has on others (despite the fact that everything comes together in far too clunky a form in the final episode).

As refreshing a character as Raza is, and as crackling as the scenes in his milieu can be, there’s another chunk of the story--the cop chunk--that appears to have been beyond Haines and Noshirvani. For every cliché and leaden bit of dialogue they kept out of the story of immigrant life, they tossed one into the story of undercover police work and its toll on those who are condemned to do it. ... But when Rizwan is on screen, it has a bounce, an engaging lightness.

Not sure why this show only has 4.5 out of 10 from Metacritic users. Another reason to trust critics over users. I've only seen the first two episodes so far, but I am very impressed. Nabhaan Rizwan, in his first role, is a revelation. Hopefully he'll get at least one award.
