When discussing Netflix crime dramas, Criminal UK is a diamond in the rough. Totalling only three episodes in length, this bite sized series is perfect for that evening in with a cup of tea, as long as you’re prepared for a fervent contest of wits. The show focuses on the intense battle that takes place in the interrogation room between criminal and detective. Criminal UK redefines the crime genre, granting the audience insight into a world previously only teased within the genre. Starring the likes of David Tennant and Hayley Atwell, the show presents brilliant character studies, emphasising an importance on flawless acting rather than big budget post-production work. Criminal UK is an easy recommendation as it rarely puts a foot wrong. The only detracting feature is the final episode, which feels like a lacklustre capstone to an otherwise flawless series.
Score: 3.5/5
