Criminal Record, from Paul Rutman, is a powerful, character-driven drama set in the heart of contemporary London. An anonymous phone call draws two brilliant detectives into a confrontation over an old murder case — one a young woman in the early stages of her career (Jumbo’s Detective Sergeant June Lenker), the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy (Capaldi’s Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegarty). The crime thriller touches on issues of race, institutional failure, and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain.
