United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Every episode is a spare, precision-engineered hour without a wasted shot or beat (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"A bold experiment with a beloved format — and it sort of works (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"Fans of formal experiments will eat the show up — at least at first. At a certain point, though, the lack of narrative and visual variety starts to leach away the novelty"	NEU
United Kingdom	Telegraph	"At a time when television seems obsessed with broadening its scope(...) 'Criminal' is a bracing blast of fresh air (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kahron Spearman The Daily Dot	"[A] credible and often gripping turn at the popular police-drama procedural (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Allie Gemmill Collider	"Fans of crime dramas will have fun sinking their teeth into every episode (...) But be warned: This is not a bingeable show. Spend too much time with 'Criminal' and you risk getting bored stiff (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"I have no idea if it is a realistic depiction of detective work, but it makes for gripping drama (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Krutika Mallikarjuna TV Guide	"Three episodes to each volume means the show is incredibly digestible, heavily narrative, and extremely good at trimming the fat that you'd normally expect from a Netflix crime offering. (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
