	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A furiously fast, fun ride which doesn’t let the deeper, darker issues fall from its grasp (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"It was a compelling history lesson, and – more than that – one that might help to repair the reputation of a much-maligned young woman (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Carol Midgley The Times	"It has been interesting how this series has portrayed Ward: amiable yet inscrutable, social climber yet unsnobbish, louche yet not too interested in sex himself (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Paul Kirkley Radio Times	"[Cookson] finds just the right mix of strength and vulnerability (...) [The story is] as compelling today as it was to the people following every twist and turn in the headlines six decades ago (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"[It] has space to develop its characters beyond the headlines, and for Coe to tease out subtexts about racism, sexism, and nuclear anxiety (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Peter Crawley Irish Times	"This telling of a very British scandal – heaving with sensuous imagery and light on intellectual demand – belongs to the Instagram age"	NEU
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[It] lays out plenty of the relevant particulars (...) A watchable drama about intertwined, doomed fates"	POS
