What ‘Criminal Record’ Is About

Created by BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman, “Criminal Record” is a character-driven crime drama set in contemporary London, where truth is often subjective and justice is anything but simple.

In Season 2, the stabbing death of a young man at a political rally forces rival officers Detective Sergeant June Lenker and Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty into an uneasy alliance.

What begins as a murder investigation quickly escalates into an undercover operation aimed at stopping a far-right bomb plot threatening the heart of London.

As the pressure mounts, the series continues to explore moral ambiguity, power, and the consequences of policing in a divided society.
