Concept is nice, but execution is less. The first episode is strong, the second and third a lot less. The second episode is especially bad. Acting is fine by the way, the British can do that.
3 episodes is a bit sparse, so if there is a 2nd season I hope for more episodes and a better script.
3.0*

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.

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 jeroen indacompu. 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.
