    Lacks subtlety

    It's interesting enough, and the setup is the same as the UK version: separate cases with a suspect in the interrogation room. But the French version of Criminal lacks the subtlety of the UK version, as do the Spanish and German versions. Besides, the acting isn't as good as in Criminal: UK.

    Not good.

    Compared to Criminal UK and Germany, Criminal France is boring. I didn't like any of the stories and there was no great acting, like in the other ones.

    The worse of the 4 criminal series

    Criminal germany is outstanding. Criminal france should learn some lessons. Get better scripts and actors.

    Will keep you on edge

    Intelligent writing clubbed with good acting and direction. An intense drama will keep on the edge. You will be glued to the screen. Binge watch all the criminal series. France Germany and UK. Highly recommended .

    Great show.....but

    The criminal series is great, but it is clear that they had trouble finding good actors for this in france. Sara Giraudeau is a terrrible actor and does damage to every show she is in
