Critics' reviews

"ITV’s new detectives are the perfect pairing (...) Murphy has created a lovely double act (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"

Stuart Jeffries: The Guardian
"Dodds is a great character stuck in a not-that-great drama – one that feels like it’s been commissioned by algorithm (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Anita Singh: Telegraph
"This drama feels like an old-fashioned programme in a new TV world (...) It feels underwritten but also overdone (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Ed Cumming: The Independent
"It would have all been rather marvellous had the plotline of last night’s episode (the first of two films) not been slightly daft (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Ben Dowell: The Times
