Superb Acting. Hanekesque Emotions
19 May 2021
This is my favourite instalment of the Criminal: Country series. Plot twists and superb acting extended the confines of the four walls - within which most of the "action" takes place. This extension kept me intrigued throughout the whole show. Wise use of the auxiliary spaces of the building as well as sufficient external interjections allow you to imagine what goes on beyond the walls. Compared to other Criminal (in order of preference):

Criminal: UK - this is my second favourite, but there's a teeny bit of unnecessary posturing - in both acting and narrative setup - that makes it seem a little self-conscious of its own intelligence.

Criminal: France - this suffers from a slight issue of style over substance.

Criminal: Spain - just too much talking..
