	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It’s been brought into the present (...), but the depth and ambition are still there."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The miniseries is certainly watchable, and the experiment represents a valiant effort. But in TV terms, 'Childhood’s End' ultimately feels trapped between worlds--a program that’s alternately oversimplified and perhaps a bit too evolved for its own good."	NEU
United States	Tim Grierson The Wrap	"The miniseries’ balance between individual narratives and humanity’s collective destiny remains a bit wobbly throughout."	NEU
United States	Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer	"The disturbing alien plot unfurls through a wondrous, hours-long act of dramatic magic that draws together elements from ancient religions and modern science."	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"At times the production can seem underbudgeted, the direction overwrought."	NEU
