TV critics 01 July ‘08

BBC1's Criminal Justice

"This looks like a series worth sticking with." Read on for the critics' full verdict on last night's TV.

Criminal Justice, BBC1
"This looks like a series worth sticking with."
Robert Hanks, The Independent

Criminal Justice, BBC1
"It's not much fun but it is first-class drama."
Matt Baylis, Daily Express

Criminal Justice, BBC1
"I don't know if I can bear the strain of five nights of Criminal Justice."
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian

Criminal Justice, BBC1
"The directors Otto Bathurst and Luke Watson have done a great job visually, placing Criminal Justice somewhere between Len Loach vérité and detective drama slick."
Andrew Billen, The Times

The Truth About Street Weapons, C4
"This is no doubt a worthy exercise, but, with a few notable exceptions, watching a panel of experts take statements from various parties - however well-intentioned, effective and/or groundbreaking their respective initiatives are out in the real world - makes for dreary television."
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian
