‘Criminal: UK’ earned a reputation for itself by giving tense one-hour interrogations to the audience where the truth remains within their reach but just out of it, keeping them guessing about the nature of the suspect put in front of them.

The uncertainty remains until the end, and here’s how it turns out.
