"Superb casting too as everyone is believable and down to earth. It's the best thing I've watched for a while that holds your attention and is both intriguing and exciting. It's addictive, watchable and satisfying so if you've not seen it yet get cracking. 5 stars from me."
A critic from the Evening Standard even compared the series to early Quentin Tarantino films. They wrote: "[Temple] feels, at times, like early Tarantino, with dodgy coppers and incompetent criminals, as [Mark] Strong holds the thing together with his glower."
