		David Craig Radio Times	"The show is perfectly competent, with good performances, solid scripting and direction, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

		Hugo Rifkind The Times	"It's gripping"
		Nick Howells London Evening Standard	"Edinburgh-based thriller is almost on the money (...) Morven Christie proves that being caught between the cops and big, bad Peter Mullan is a painfully tight spot (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
