Black Ops is a British television comedy series made for BBC One starring Hammed Animashaun, Gbemisola Ikumelo and Akemnji Ndifornyen.
The highest acclaim came from Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian, who gave the show five stars, calling it "pitch-perfect, star-packed joy" and that "Black Ops merges broad comedy with bent copper crime drama to hilarious and nail-biting effect".
[18] Benji Wilson of the Daily Telegraph awarded the show four stars and stated the series "gets it all rather joyously right" with the "a terrific pairing" in the lead roles who "ace it".
[19] Vicky Jessop writing for The Evening Standard gave Black Ops a three star review, opining that the "campy, farcical tone works in some areas [but not] in others" but "you can forgive it almost anything because, for the most part, this show is funny" and "there are more than enough gags to compensate".
[20] Three star reviews were also awarded by Nick Hilton of The Independent[21] and Dan Einav of the Financial Times,[22] the former stating that "despite a clever title" the "police sitcom is charming enough, but it lacks bite."
Tawiah & Lindsay Wright were nominated in the Best Music Original Score - Scripted category at the 2023 Royal Television Society Craft & Design Awards.
