Guerrilla (TV Series)

"Excellent all around (...) [It] is already one of the best things appearing on TV in 2017" 

"'Guerrilla' excels because of its interest in how individuals digest revolution" 

"The series builds to that climax in an almost casual way, fleshing out some characters and plotlines but leaving others thin. That can be frustrating at times, but it’s all a sort of misdirection that makes the final episode all the more jolting." 

"Ridley has a shrewd and multifaceted grasp of the various ironies and class resentments informing London's social macro (...) but the micro eludes him (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"A smart and solemn period piece (...) The arcs of Marcus and Jas are compelling" 

"Ridley leaves an indelible directorial stamp on the opening third of this series with some of his standby sensory touches." 

"This show (...) is very much for the mainstream (...) Sometimes, it is soap opera (...) Some will wish for more gravitas (...) 'Guerrilla' is what it is, and I’ll take it for that." 

"'Guerrilla' works hard to feel viscerally real, rather than a dramatised lecture about a dialectical struggle. But it has its flaws (...) A drama about black power [that] disempowers black women (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
