	Media	Author	Review
		Amber Dowling Variety	"'Magpie Murders' isn’t game-changing material, but it certainly scratches that nostalgic itch if you’re looking for a murder mystery with entertaining twists and interesting characters"
		Christopher Connor Radio Times	"The story within a story structure could have become far too convoluted for viewers to follow, but it's well-managed (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Chris Bennion Telegraph	"A whodunit pastiche with a delicious conceit (...) Magpie Murders is an elaborate, cryptic puzzle box, with constantly shifting pieces. It is a whodunit about whodunits within a whodunit. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Emily Bernard Collider	"[It] strikes a nice balance between intriguing mystery and beautiful backdrop, though Lesley Manville’s performance is what really makes this mystery one worth solving."
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"'Magpie Murders' is an entertaining puzzle of a show whose two parallel but intertwined plots satisfy and, at moments, amuse, as they offer a clever meta-look at the whodunit genre"
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"A mystery lover’s delight, Magpie Murders is a whodunit wrapped in a whodunit, an homage to the genre’s most revered classics that adds clever twists of its own"
		Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine	"I am happy to say that it is extremely good. Stars Lesley Manville, Conleth Hill, and Tim McMullan are compelling in their respective roles"
