Critical Incident

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.

... the genre is plentiful... most are passable entrants, few are very, very good... Critical Incident happens to be one of the latter... lots going on, at a pace at times relentless

.. propulsive storytelling, top performances and authentically lived-in settings lift this smart and gripping series.. is the lead in on one recent critic's review, and it's accurate... few world over do it better than in this latest-new Australian series

... read the analysis-review of Anthony Morris... it's straight, why this production is just sooo good, not-2b-missed-TV (especially if you love a fully well made crime-drama)... really looking forward where they take us in season two... binged in-a-day, now to wait till next year.

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 want to trash talk this so much, but I found myself binge watching the complete series in one night.

Quality of camera work, production and casting, draws you into the characters stories within the story and true to todays culture.

Im rating this a Solid 7 and look forward to more Australian productions being released.

Hope theres more series to come, because it can't end on ep6.

The use of multi ethnicities is classic Australian and New Zealand relate able. A very easy plot to follow along, but more importantly the casting.. i felt as though they were relatable and the adult themes going on within.

I enjoyed this .. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Critical Incident is well done, good story, and all round good acting. Yes, it could be better, some of the actors are trying too hard, but generally they get the tone right. The lead actress definitely has potential.

I am not Australian so it is difficult for me to address any stereotypes, however the bad guys are believable.

The story surrounding the foster care system, and the system in general, is well done. The portrayal of the group home atmosphere, the councillors and house supervisors with their own personal agenda seems believable to me.

Worth the watch, I just spent a pleasant day watchin all six episodes.
