"There are two aspects about In the Name of People to which we should pay attention. First, the cast includes a number of veteran and skilled actors, which - during a time when pop stars dominate TV and movie screens - is notable. Second, shooting an anti-corruption show featuring serious political themes under the current censorship system is like trying to dance wrapped in chains. Therefore it is much more difficult to create an excellent show than it is for other genres," netizen Zts wrote in a review on Douban.
网友“Zts”在一份豆瓣影评中写道：“关于《人民的名义》，有两方面我们应该注意。第一，这部剧里有许多老戏骨和实力派演员，这在目前电视电影都由小鲜肉当道的情况下显得弥足珍贵。第二，在目前的审查制度下，拍摄一部以严肃政治题材为主题的反腐电视剧非常困难，就像裹着铁链舞蹈一样。因此，相比于其他类型的电视剧来说，本片更加难能可贵。”
Produced with the support of the TV and Film Production Center under the Supreme People's Procuratorate, In the Name of People comes at a time when the Chinese central government has increased its anti-corruption efforts.
目前中国中央政府正加大反腐力度，而就在此时，在最高人民检察院影视中心的支持下，《人民的名义》便应运而生了。
The show is based on the novel of the same name by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen, who was also scriptwriter for the series.
这部电视剧基于周梅森的同名小说《人民的名义》，原著作者同时担任本剧的编剧。
