Criminal Record is an eight-episode character-driven thriller that hails from BAFTA Award nominee Paul Rutman. Capaldi is portraying the role of Detective Chief Inspector Daniel Hegart, while Jumbo will be playing Detective Sergeant June Lenker.
“It is a powerful, character-driven thriller set in the heart of contemporary London,” reads the synopsis. “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; the other a well-connected man determined to protect his legacy. The series touches on issues of race, institutional failure, and the quest to find common ground in a polarized Britain.”
