	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"The sheer menace of the thing is extraordinary. The interiors are tiny, dark, oppressive. The script is minimal, elliptical."	POS
United Kingdom	Ben Lawrence Telegraph	"A measured, neat performance [by Roth] (...) [The script] never quite allows Roth room to manoeuvre (...) This opener was curiously flat and uninvolving (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sally Newall The Independent	"Tim Roth and Samantha Morton lit up this dark, creepy thriller"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"Underwritten characters doom it (...) Boasting the psychological depth of a Wikipedia entry (...) The series effectively evokes atmospheric dread (...) but it largely fails as drama"	NEG
Ireland	Kevin Courtney Irish Times	"It’s all very creepy and claustrophobic (...) When the episode ends, it’s like having a sack taken off your head, and you can breathe normally again."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Hyland Mirror	"The most chilling thing on TV in years"	POS
