's Lucy Mangan's describes the new show as 'an astonishing, deeply moving state-of-the-nation thriller'.
She writes: 'The Cage works as a companion piece to The Responder, giving a voice to and empathising more with the people Freeman’s character likened to whack-a-moles in trackie bottoms than with those attempting to corral them.
'A state-of-the-other-nation piece, perhaps.'
In contrast, The Times writer Carol Midgley says: 'The premise of The Cage (BBC1), his new series, didn’t really float my boat.
'I find casinos a turn-off, both in real life and in TV dramas: the flashy lights, garish carpets, black glass and flinty-eyed ambience all designed to relieve you of as much money as possible and usually filled with people in whom I have no interest.
'I couldn’t see how something set in this world, which is alien to so many, could have the raw, jagged authenticity that made The Responder special.
'The Cage isn’t really about casinos, though, even though it’s set in one. It is about the things that desperate, struggling people will do, people who are in financial trouble for all different kinds of reasons and which are not always their fault.
'It shows how, when you are in a certain kind of trap, the world is rigged against you.'
