	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A reminder – as if we needed one – that political ambition is rarely pure (...) it is as if a horror version of The Crown (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Eleanor Bley Griffiths Radio Times	"I don’t love it. I don’t hate it. It’s fine. It’s the supermarket sandwich of the drama world (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"David Hare’s new drama is competently put together and the plot draws you in – but it lacks a certain freshness (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rebecca Strassberg Variety	"[Laurie] might be the initial draw for audiences but can’t sustain on his own. The show simply isn’t written that way"	NEU
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"It has a great cast going for it, led by the always watchable Hugh Laurie. In fact, Laurie is the entire reason to watch this pulpy miniseries"	POS
United Kingdom	Scott Bryan BBC	"It manages to be good and bad at the same time ... The problem is it is riddled with clichés."	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Laurie dominates the screen time and defines the mood, but he’s helped by a deep bench of old pros"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[Laurie] is just about the only reason to get into 'Roadkill' (...) The series never makes a clear case that it’s worth all the effort"	NEU
