David Tennant and Hayley Atwell star in Netflix's newest drama, 'Criminal.' Read the review:
Sometimes the idea for a series is better than the execution, and a prime example of that is Netflix's newest drama, Writer George Kay and director Jim Field Smith are co-creators of this in-the-interrogation-room drama, and the twist is that the simple but effective staging is done in Netflix's Madrid-based production offices, with writer-director teams from the U.K., France, Germany and Spain using the same setting and, to some extent, narrative trappings.
It's not really the fault of the actors. You can see why they would want a part of this and, in the British version of , you get standout performances throughout, particularly from the brand-name suspects in the first two series, David Tennant and Hayley Atwell.
Again, this is all very good for Kay and Smith, who get their own show plus, one would assume, some royalties from the other three even though they didn't write those versions; it's still thoroughly based in their ideas.
