Created by Paul Rutman
In the heart of London, an anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives—a young woman in the early stages of her career and a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy—into a fight to correct an old miscarriage of justice. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Yes! But even the Brits fall for it. "Bodies" was a *fantastic* show - and then in the last ten seconds, they do something that says "but if we get renewed..." I loved "Criminal Record," which wasn't a mystery box, but wrapped each story - the way TV used to do, before streaming
positive · AI labelView post →Achieved some lawnmowing yesterday (and dare I say it, for the last time this year) and the weather has been just lovely for walks by the canal. Warched season 1 of Criminal Record on Apple tv. A very good cop show starring Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo. Hope you're all having a good weekend! 😊
positive · AI labelView post →There’s a good slow burn UK crime show called Criminal Record (Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo both excellent) and season 2 has a British Alex Jones lol

Also caught up on Reacher - the large man punches people! 💪 As for new stuff, the first couple of episodes of Lanterns have been great! www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series...

Great TV series, Peter Capaldi is on top form 👍 https://youtu.be/coAwoqnRiLE?si=anah51GXNOt6H1C2

positive · AI labelView post →I’d love to see Andrew Lincoln play a Detective in a show like Criminal Record. I could really see him playing the slightly older male lead detective in that series but it seems like he’s not interested in anything like that unfortunately 😕 & this one of my favorite bearded looks on him 🥵
neutral · AI labelView post →The series "Criminal Record" on Apple TV is excellent. Season 2 just came out. There was a time I believed in "justice" and had ultimate faith in the law. Despite my disenchantment with justice and the law, this series is well worth the time.

positive · AI labelView post →‘Criminal Record’ on Apple TV is amazing, just renewed for a second season, and one of the few Apple series whose title sequence I love sitting through.
positive · AI labelView post →Markwayne Mullin is either a COMPLICIT violent RACIST, or a completely INCOMPETENT Trump SYCOPHANT. Either way, what I.C.E. is doing is no longer concerned with "murderers, rapists and drug-bangers", as records show that the MAJORITY of all 'detainees' have absolutely NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yall wanna talk about a wild ride of a show…Criminal Record! Apple once again in their bag😮💨😮💨😮💨
positive · AI labelView post →Peter Capaldi (seen here in the new & currently-streaming Season 7 episode of Netflix's "Black Mirror" anthology series, titled "Plaything") was born on April 14, 1958, in Glasgow, Scotland. He was the twelfth "Doctor Who " and currently also stars in the Apple TV+ crime series "Criminal Record."

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally got round to watching Criminal Record. Absolutely brilliant, and guaranteed to annoy all the worst people in the country.
positive · AI labelView post →2 episodes in CRIMINAL RECORD and there has been a couple of immensely powerful looks as the series main theme is creeping into view. Not a brand new experience, but a solid British police thriller so far.
neutral · AI labelView post →STV Studios, the production group behind Blue Lights and Criminal Record, has made an audacious bid to move the show north of the English border for Season 17. Deadline understands that the company has teamed up with Screen Scotland to table the proposal. #DrWho deadline.com/2026/10/doct...

neutral · AI labelView post →Man, Criminal Record is a great show.
positive · AI labelView post →Cush Jumbo said June Lenker’s moral compass is “so annoyingly hardcore” that it keeps biting her in the ass. That’s Criminal Record season two in one sentence, a detective show where the case is never just the case. www.lpm.org/music/2026-0... #CriminalRecord #AppleTV

positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV has quietly, gradually become my favorite streaming service for TV series. Widow’s Bay, Criminal Record, For All Mankind, Foundation, Slow Horses, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Severance, Murderbot, Silo, Chief of War, etc. #Television
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished series 2 of Criminal Record. Such a good show but damn it’s very of the moment and makes me feel all gross and hopeless.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t know where we got in from. It’s just a saying at home when too much violence 😂 Looks like another head in the chip fryer one . A few good series like Slow Horses, Dark Winds and Criminal Record have gone down that pathway . Dark, gloomy and a bit too miserable and brutally true for us.
neutral · AI labelView post →Escapist Routes is up! TWO new Widow's Bay episodes, plus Criminal Record, the Hacks series finale (love), the For All Mankind season finale (look, I have a rant) and the premiere of Star City, which is new and shiny and hasn't disappointed me yet.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the first series of Criminal Record and just want to give DS Lenker’s partner, Leo, a good slapping for being such an idiot. Rant over. The bag was planted you muppet.
positive · AI labelView post →Criminal Record! This season isn't as interesting, sadly. The story itself is good, but the dynamic between the two leads from the first season is pretty much gone, and there's less investigating. Not bad, I will likely keep watching, just am not as into it as with first season. #TVSky #series 📺
neutral · AI labelView post →A few too many unnecessary nipples for me but loving Nick Offerman in it. Haven’t watched any Criminal Record, waiting for a friend to be back from holiday to watch together (assuming series 1 is available).

neutral · AI labelView post →@bellwhitworth.bsky.social On Apple TV try these drama series: Truth be Told, The Crowded Room (stay with it), Lessons in Chemistry, Criminal Record
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, that #Franklin series on Apple TV might finally push me to subscribe. I know. I know. Foundation, Severance, The Changeling, Ted Lasso, and Criminal Record are all on there...but I'm a sucker for a good Historical Drama about a figure I'm fascinated by.
neutral · AI labelView post →Right. I’m up to date with Criminal Record (excellent Bent Coppers stuff) and Masters of the Air (could this be more Dad TV). I’d better get on to series 4 of True Detective (I hear great things).
positive · AI labelView post →I generally like gritty police dramas, and I definitely like both Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo, but I found the blood and gore of "Criminal Record" a bit too much for me. Whereas I could manage the blood and gore of Fargo (series 5) as it was tinged with, albeit very dark, humour.
negative · AI labelView post →REVIEW: We rarely see British cop shows acknowledge racism, especially within police ranks. I really like the performances from Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi. But as with so many TV series, Apple's 8-episode "Criminal Record" shoulda been a movie instead
