About Criminal

Criminal is a series of four Netflix police procedural anthology TV series set in four countries, each consisting of three episodes. The four series are Criminal: France, Criminal: Germany, Criminal: Spain, and Criminal: UK. Although the showrunners are based in the UK, each local three-part series is written and performed in that country's native language by native actors. Still, all four individual regional series were shot on the same set in Madrid, Spain.

Each episode is a stand-alone psychological drama, consisting of the interrogation of an individual by a team of police investigators. All twelve episodes are confined to just three areas in a single location; a police interrogation room, a darkened viewing room that looks into the interrogation room through a one-way mirror, and the hallway and stairwell outside the rooms.
