Criminal: UK season 1

Nicely focused on the interrogations and that works quite well. It's only interrupted by a thread about the team of interrogators. A thread that is too thin though due to too few episodes - agree with [user=736]3 2 1 cut[/user]. So it adds little.

As for the three cases: I was never bored with them, partly thanks to the appropriate, short playing time per episode. Loved all three, especially the first. However, I always missed a (strong) climax, precisely because that is what is being worked towards and then it ends fairly dull every time.

I'm afraid it won't stay with me for long. A punch in the stomach at every ending (or just after the last episode) would have made that very different. Nice for in between so I have seen the other versions as well. Descending from good to mediocre: the German, then the French and UK and at least the Spanish.

Criminal: UK season 1

The rather scenic setting, the interrogation room in a police station, suggests a static and monotonous series, but nothing turns out to be less true. From the first minute, this series is intriguing and fascinating, with strong acting and a surprisingly dynamic visual approach. The first episode is a bit unbelievable here and there, but the second and third are fine.
