    Excellent addictive!

    As a third gen Pakistani I could understand the complexity of family life. The series has it's flaws but is entertaining. Left me thinking about the show long after I had finished viewing.

    A lot of food for thought. Would definitely recommend.

    Must see

    Gripping storyline, I was on the edge of my seat. The acting and script is great. I also love the way informer was filmed.

    Be our eyes and ears in the shade

    • Informer - is a British thriller series - Drama and it tells us the story of the infiltration of a London Pakistani (2nd generation) who becomes (we force his hand) informant for the anti-terrorism police. The idea for this series is very good and we feel the desire to know more as soon as we realize the development of the plot. A small stressful atmosphere is felt then the main character evolves in an environment that was completely foreign to him before. We feel very well all the psychological pressure and ill-being of this informant who is admirably well interpreted by: "Nabhaan Rizwan" in the role of (Raza Shar, the informant) other roles are also valued in this series as: "Paddy Considine"
    in the role of Gabe Waters and "Bel Powley" in the role of Holly Morten being the counterterrorism agents who follow Raza Shar the informer. Personally I did not find that the end of this series was in line with the story and we could even say that it is surprising in more ways than one, but that will not spoil the interpretation of the facts. A good series to discover. I say no more, would reveal a little too much, believe me it is worth it.

    excellent story line

    I always believe in simplicity when it comes to series that highlight current situations . Informer does so, though a bit slow, its worth the wait cause of the suspense. Be it mild at times...what matters most to me is whats the bigger picture. I cant wait to watch the upcoming episodes. Yes...had to fight spoiling it for you.

    Thought provoking

    I discovered this on iPlayer and binge watched it in a couple of days. It's a very well done, original, thought provoking and very well acted drama. The lead actor is phenominal in his role as is the actor Roger Jean Nsengiyuma (he gave me a young 2Pac vibes). Great to see some young talent emerging on BBC. I love Jessica Raine, but she is in danger of being type cast. Her character was no different from the character she played in 'The Last Post'. A bored and lonely housewife. She can do better! I recommend this show because it felt very real, it is original and a day later I am still thinking about it. I hope the BBC will do a second season! This show is much much better than 'The Bodyguard'.
