    Couldn’t even get through the first two episodes, writing is terrible, characters unlikeable and the plot is moronic. BBC prove yet again that they are the worst broadcaster for any form of dramatised entertainment. Seen as they desperately try to hold an entire nation to ransom to pay for their service they could at least try and spend some of their millions on decent writers andCouldn’t even get through the first two episodes, writing is terrible, characters unlikeable and the plot is moronic. BBC prove yet again that they are the worst broadcaster for any form of dramatised entertainment. Seen as they desperately try to hold an entire nation to ransom to pay for their service they could at least try and spend some of their millions on decent writers and production crews. Time to put their money where their mouth is and make their service optional for anyone wanting to watch live tv. Then we’d see who actually wants to pay for this drivel.… Expand

    David Tennant's performance was amazing but his character was so stupid that it ruined the whole show.

    Aside from a handful of strong performances this series is absolutely ludicrous and so preposterous that it makes it almost unwatchable.

    It’s all patently ridiculous. If it were ridiculous in an entertaining way, that would be one thing. But Tennant’s side of the story is just so insane that you’ll be too distracted by it to be entertained by Tucci’s side.

    Inside Man’s central scenario is unsatisfyingly confected. ... With likeable performances and quippy characters, Inside Man is a weeknight crowd pleaser. Just don’t expect the moral depth, or proficient plotting, of some of its rivals in the emergent “men making mistake after mistake” genre.

    This arch meditation on human beings' capacity to kill is audacious, clever and at times frustrating because things are often too daft even for knockabout noir. However, it's worth it if only for the beautifully contained performance of Stanley Tucci as the charismatic "death row detective" Jefferson Grieff.
