      Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter An above-average genre exercise. Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Udita Jhunjhunwala The Quint The cinematography, music, locations and dialect make the series immersive, detailed, acutely affecting and tinged with hopelessness. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal A highly potent Netflix drama whose seven parts deliver a fictionalized version of events, though one largely true to most of the essentials of the case. Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost Delhi Crime is no easy watch. In fact, it should come with a trigger warning. Despite the risks, it manages to maintain a tight balance between holding back on what the audience is exposed to and going all in as the grisly details. Oct 17, 2023 Full Review Lynden Barber Limelight Such a dully prosaic title suggests something blankly generic but Delhi Crime is anything but. Feb 9, 2021 Full Review Shah Shahid Blank Page Beatdown Netflix's newest original Indian series, Delhi Crime, adapts a horrific real-life crime. It does it with a nuanced depiction, and very real performances. Nov 24, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Richard P This is not Bollywood entertainment; it is a masterful telling of an Indian tragedy told with a withering eye for detail and authenticity and superbly acted. I've just watched it for the second time, and still, the acting leaves me in awe. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review tarek a This series is very hard to watch as we are forced to relive the horrors of the Nirbhaya rape case that shook the world to the core. The episodes will wring a full range of emotions out of you, including terror, despair, rage and elation. Bollywood movies fantasize about Robocop heroes that smash through walls and wipe the floors with villains, as a representation of the ideals that their own failed real-life police forces should have been. This series shows the alternative is possible - sincere, determined hard work by cops, following the law and order - leading to iron-clad convictions and the delivery of justice. It is very heartening that the series makers tried very hard to stick to the real case facts, and mirrored their characters on the real heroes that brought these animals to justice. These law enforcers showed the world that even in the deeply corrupt sub-continent, it is possible for justice to be served swiftly, without fear or favour. In terms of pacing and shooting, this series is no less exciting than any police procedural drama from the west. Every episode is tension-filled as you silently and fervently wish for the police to succeed in seizing the suspects. It is also interesting to see the psychology of the good and bad guys explored carefully, instead of a robotic telling of facts. We get a glimpse into what makes all these folks tick, showing that nothing happens in a vacuum and that everything begins from a place of deep conviction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent, excellent show. A brilliant, haunting, and fascinating look at the infamous 2012 Delhi rape case. It really brings the whole situation to life with excellent performances from the police officers, who portray an underfunded department swamped and attacked from all sides of society. The three-dimensional portrayal of the rapists is fascinating as well, and the five day hunt to track them down is thrilling and impressive in how quick it was. Everyone should check out this show, Indian or not. It's without a doubt the best Indian TV show I've seen and 100% deserves its Emmy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 'Delhi Crime' is not a perfect series: the level of blood and gore is disturbing and there's just no denying that it shall especially shake the patriarchal sentimentalities. But at the same time, there's just no denying that it is an unpredictable thriller, gripping and moving I'm equal measure. Shefali Shah, Rajesh Tailang and Rasika Dugal star in main roles in this beautifully important web show that's a masterclass on how the world works... visually. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review flixster f It's take on the witness is awesome. But then it's just BASED on true events. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best true crime series from India. Simply outstanding. Kudos to the casting director and the line producers for giving us such a convincing Delhi show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
