    Average at best

    Criminal Germany was outstanding. Especially the first episode was a class. Criminal france has plot holes bad writing the suspects traps them self for stupid reasons etc etc. Not good if second season please don't feed us bad writing again

    Brilliant yet not the best

    I think after watching all the four countries, I would rate France the least , I mean someone had to come 4th! If you watch France first, no doubt you'll be mind blown but after watching UK and other nations , you can identify the flaws and drawbacks of the French cast but still a brilliant series by Netflix.

    Brilliant , breathless and real..

    I started watching this series with France and have just finished all the three episodes . I am going to start watching the other countries' series from tonite on . Does anybody know if Criminal : France will have other seasons ?

    Lacks subtlety

    It's interesting enough, and the setup is the same as the UK version: separate cases with a suspect in the interrogation room. But the French version of Criminal lacks the subtlety of the UK version, as do the Spanish and German versions. Besides, the acting isn't as good as in Criminal: UK.

    Fantastic !!!

    Just like the German, Spanish and English versions this series is unbelievably good and it's just a shame that the episodes are so short and few. Hopefully they'll develop the concept into a longer series as we're only just getting to know the characters by the end of episode 3.

    Great casting and storyline and eminently suitable for adaptation to the stage.
