United States	Jacob Oller Paste Magazine	"[The series] improves its storytelling significantly while maintaining one of the most interesting aesthetics on air (...) the show’s pacing has gotten an energy boost without sacrificing any of the fun nastiness."	POS

United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"While 'Angel of Darkness' has its blaringly anachronistic moments it’s well-tooled (...) Angel of Darkness” has the good sense to leave much of the period-evocation persuasion to the actors."	POS
