United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: While the shift in focus from rape to murder is an oddly welcome relief, this time around, it feels a little more paint by numbers (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: Who killed Andrew Earlham? The bigger question is, who cares? (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Samuel Fishwick London Evening Standard	"[2nd Season Review]: There’s plenty of scope for this thriller to pick its winding way (...) For now, it feels like we’re following our own footprints"	NEU
United Kingdom	Carol Midgley The Times	"[2nd Season Review]: This felt like the sequel [Donovan & Strong] never expected to write, an afterthought tacked on and cobbled together (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Sean O'Grady The Independent	"[2nd Season Review]: Dedicated viewers of season one with sharp memories were no doubt OK; newer less familiar viewers were somewhat left in the dark (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Filled with 'Fatal Attraction'-ish moments of doubt and debate in a claustrophobically small community of subplots."	POS
United Kingdom	Michael Hogan Telegraph	"'Liar' was reminiscent of 'Broadchurch' (..) The coastal Kent setting was gorgeous, with architectural piers and alien-looking landscapes. Unfortunately, it found itself out-gimmicked and outgunned by its writers' other creation ['Rellik'] (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"It takes a bleakly familiar story into unfamiliar territory."	POS
United Kingdom	Sean O'Grady The Independent	"It certainly points up the true seriousness of rape and the problems of exacting justice fro so many victims"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"A cat-and-mouse game where both animals are too dumb to merit our interest (...) [Its] good intentions are sunk by ludicrous reveals and ultimately self-diminishing storytelling."	NEG
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Well-made melodrama."	POS
