    Why so low ratings??? This deserves atleast 8.

    Only a handful of filmmakers and networks attempt this kind of police procedural shows... criminal uk caters to a niche audience of shows like mindhunters and True detective..

    Great Spin on a Police Show

    Just extract the interview part of the standard police show and that's this show, but in a detailed and intense viewpoint.

    No fun here, no back stories, your dropped straight into the need for a confession at the moment, the actors throw themselves into it with gusto, this show offers them the opportunity to act.

    In all entertaining but gritty.

    Stress and claustrophobia

    Amazing acting. You can feel the stress and the claustrophobia levels rising as the interrogation gets more intense.
