EPISODE
In a season that begins with enthusiasm and strength around that most exciting series. Gabby, the anti-narcotics official, joins Holly, his new and ambitious partner, who becomes infinitely curious. Perhaps a third person named Raza, a young man from the East of Britain, will be forced by Gabe to inform him. These are many stumbling issues and investigations that will make their lives vulnerable.

Informer has two writers and the temptation is to wonder if one of them is very, very bad and the other very, very good.

Informer was dynamic, funny and compassionate, an uncomfortable look at power and its abuses.

Why was this steaming pile of rubbish commissioned? It was desperately unfunny stuff, the kind of dreck that would struggle to make the grade in on daytime TV, yet here it was on prime time.

You may need a high-tolerance threshold for these cynical almost aphorisms.

This first episode was paced achingly slowly, was packed with clichéd cop-speak, and also did not serve the main character well.

It's all beautifully done. It's good to see Considine in a major role, and Rizwan is a natural.
October 17, 2018
The idea behind Informer is fine, even if the subject is overdone, and its cast and crew do their best, but you need real characters if you're going to ask them to drive.

The way she trapped Raza's mother into confessing she was an illegal immigrant was a masterpiece of cynical manipulation.
October 23, 2018
Rather good, if flawed. There's a revelation in the newcomer - never acted before - Nabhaan Rizwan - but a clunkiness in the script.

Roger Jean Nsengiyumva makes a good job of Dadir, but makes you wonder why he isn't running PR for Facebook or something, instead of committing random acts of violence in fried chicken shops and poncey degree shows.
