Jan 21, 2019Not 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.

Jan 13, 2019Binged the whole series in one sitting. It's different, and it's good. Contrivances abound in this everything's eventually connected tale, and it gets a bit much some of the time. I found myself rolling my eyes at end, but before it gets there, there are some really cringey filled tense scenes, some real edge of your seat stuff.

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).

Whereas similar shows have ended with a tidy conclusion, these kind of investigative dramas are richer for going beyond the backstory of a single crime to explore how much it continues to resonate long after the story ends.

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.
