	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Not scary enough to be good horror and too simple-minded to be grand sci-fi, 'Nightflyers' is just another schlocky TV show pretending to be more than it is."	NEG
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] is a fine addition to an onscreen canon that’s already well-stuffed — that of the space horror story. But it flails when it comes to doing anything new with a metaphor that’s been worn thin"	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Decently cast, interestingly claustrophobic and boasting occasional tiny bursts of inspiration (...) Central conflicts and characters that you've seen dozens of times"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Most of the roles are miscast, the dialogue is flat, and the pacing usually feels off. It’s one of those shows that sags right when you want it to click into place."	NEG
United States	Antonio Sanchez IGN	"Future installments need to find the balance between emotion and scares (...) 'Nightflyers' shows potential in its series premiere, but its scares are a little too predictable to be fully effective."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"A tediously generic haunted-house-in-space odyssey (...) While the murky nature of everyone's motivations should provide an element of suspense (...) it's hard to care who will survive the journey."	NEG
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"It succeeds mainly at making you want to revisit the work that inspired it (...) [It is] not capable of knocking you out with style"	NEG
United States	Liam Mathews TV Guide	"[It] is no fun. It's a grim, drab, thematically underdeveloped plot delivery system (...) The characters are all thin tropes"	NEG
