Leave your thoughts about Harrigan.
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThere are few surprises in this cliché-ridden plucky effort that may have been better as a TV production. |
| GuardianSteve RoseYou can guess what you're in for here even before the prologue text has ended. |
| Time OutAnna SmithVisually stylised and filled with a sense of impending doom, 'Harrigan' feels more like post-apocalyptic sci-fi than a nostalgic cop saga. |
| London Evening StandardCharlotte O'SullivanThe whole thing is about as appetising as a stale jammy dodger but someone, somewhere, will gobble it up. |
| User ReviewIan CThis had all the makings of a quality British crime thriller. A Hardnosed cop comes back from Hong Kong carrying some demons. His former manor is now infested with scum and it is up to him exterminate the filth. Tompkinson is great as Harrigan but he is let down by a really shit storyline. |
