	Media	Author	Review
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Louisa Harland is beyond brilliant in Sally Wainwright's new drama (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"Like a lot of period pieces these days, the show is amusing, intelligent and very well executed, and it shrewdly exploits its comic and magical elements"
		Mike McCahill Variety	"With 'Renegade Nell', Sally Wainwright stands and (mostly) delivers"
		Joel Keller Decider	"It feels like the whimsical dropped off quickly by the end of the first episode, and it needs to be there for the series to be watchable. But it’s off to a good start."
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	'"Renegade Nell' never does deliver on the early promise of its concept, and eventually settles into the disappointment of unfulfilled potential."
		Arezou Amin Collider	"'Renegade Nell' blends familiar tropes into an entertaining adventure that feels like a breath of fresh air, with grounded magic and diverse casting."
		Nicola Austin Empire	"With a bold premise and an array of fantastic performances, 'Renegade Nell' is an action-packed, fairy tale-tinged swashbuckler with something to say (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"This wobbly period fantasy might feature an annoying fairy and a somewhat childish tone, but Derry Girls star Harland is superb (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rory Doherty Paste Magazine	"'Renegade Nell' is a winning blend of highwayman legend, heartfelt historical drama, and, surprisingly, martial arts choreography"
		Molly Moss Radio Times	"'Renegade Nell' is well-paced and energetic, has a rollicking soundtrack, and delivers satisfying twists and turns en route to a crowd-pleasing finale (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The production looks as good as any serious period piece, and the comedy is all the better for the persuasive richness of the setting"
