Critical Incident

It started alright but it gets boring as hell. There is some mediocre acting too. Like the brother and his eife. They could work at a supermarket and show more enthusiasm by the dead chicken.

The premise is great but the characters are stupid and get stupider by the episode. I got so bored that I didn't care what would happen to any of them which also means that the audience doesn't invest in them. I can't believe I watched six out of eight. Totally meh show. And yes I'm Just writing now to reach the amount of characters required to post this review to save your asses from wasting your time watching that. Unless it get on Netflix where you can watch it X1.5, just skip it.

I was expecting a lot of good things from this series but in the end it failed to live up to the expectation of a person who reviews things like this for a living claiming it was the "best television show of the year.." and sadly it is far from that but it could be so much more.

Some actors tried way too hard to act and others were brilliant.

Side plots were more interesting with the main story and addresses what is it like to live in group homes and the system quite well. People playing the officers showing the difficulties of life in the system

Someone also lowkey apologise to Eric Thomson please because the character he plays just looks perpetually confused.

All in all I did enjoy it and hopefully there is more because it is an interesting concept.

I feel like this series fairly represents perspectives from a variety of angles on social issues and policing intervention facing communities in Western Syd - it sets up a very probable incident which keeps you wanting for the resolution. The actors are endearing and the plot tracks a non-superficial depiction of how choices and cultural norms impact our lives. Critical Incident S1 solidly sets the stage for exploring more - it stands on its own, but it's only touched the surface of what is possible out of these characters & the setting - a reflection of the reality of life for some living in our most populous, newest and diverse communities today. Look forward to more.

I've been watching The Rookie lately and whilst entertaining it's tiresome watching patrol cops solve murders and get into constant gun battles every episode.

Enter Critical Incident.

This show has a believable plot and builds the tension through character development not unrealistic action. All the characters act and think in really believable ways.

The policing side of it is realistic and you can tell they've taken the time to make it accurate.

My personal favourite is that they've got a strong cast who bring humanity to all sides. There's no tropey characters and moustache twirling villains. Each character is well thought out and the whole experience is immersive and engaging.

It's thoroughly enjoyable and really worth the watch.

Critical Incident is a fantastic new show! It is the best on tv this year so far. Great to see an Australian show do so well on Stan. Amazing plot and really interesting characters. The show embraces diversity and this comes through the script and actor selection. The script is really written so well - very talented writer to create so much drama and suspense.

Critical Incident is one of those shows you just want to binge watch all the episodes in one go. The show really has lived up to all the hype in the lead up to the show. Great to put a good Aussie show on the world stage. Can't wait to see if there is a season 2!!!!!
