	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Our mass experience under the Covid cloud seems distilled into this tale of the havoc wreaked by one tiny toxin (...) Contains scenes of genuine courage (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"A perfectly well-made but predictable treatment of a major news event (...) you never quite escape the sense that you’re watching a particularly thorough Crimewatch reconstruction (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Eleanor Bley Griffiths Radio Times	"A deeply affecting piece of television – and as it turns out, the obvious story was not the most interesting story after all (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tilly Pearce Metro	"With so many amazing dramas launching this year, this one feels a little bit stale (...) It’s not a bad watch for a Sunday evening (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[It] should hold your interest, especially if you don’t know a lot about the case on which this show is based"	POS
United States	Michael Schwirtz The New York Times	"Even for a reporter who covered the real events, the four episodes contain revelations (...) An engrossing and deeply researched four-part drama"	POS
United States	Louisa Mellor Den of Geek	"A timely message to spread about human resilience in the face of the unknown and unimaginable"	POS
