Series Brief

Overview

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.

Why fans love it

Criminal Record functions as a tense friction between two detectives operating on opposite ends of their professional lives. The friction centers on an old case that threatens the status quo, turning a standard investigation into an aggressive game of chess played across London.

Peter Capaldi anchors the series as a veteran detective defined by a desperate need to preserve his long-standing reputation. The narrative thrives on this specific power imbalance, as his character confronts a younger investigator who holds the leverage to dismantle his history. It is a calculated crime thriller that prioritizes psychological pressure over adrenaline, turning every conversation into a potential trap.
