The Netflix original police show, Criminal is all set to return to the streaming service for the third season. The same plot of the show is to be followed for season 3, which involves a team of police officers questioning suspects, each with a different story. 

The show’s story compels viewers to doubt and question their own prejudices through the diverse stories of the suspects. The writing is remarkably different from regular crime dramas that have one crime scene in a whole series. What the creators of Criminal have done is take that crime scene and spin it into an entire show.
