	Media	Author	Review
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Even if you might wish it exhibited a bit more complexity and artistic refinement, it is a drama with resonance. It has the right story to tell – alas – in our current dark age (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Carol Midgley The Times	"This is what Sunday nights have been missing (...) [It] grabbed the viewer (well, this one anyway) by the chops from its startling opening scene, and held on until the closing credits (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Beth Webb Empire	"A taut period thriller that maintains a vice-like grip throughout and boasts a standout first performance from O’Casey (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"All the right ingredients – but the end result is bland. Despite a brilliant lead performance and a fascinating subject, this period drama about British fascism in the Sixties feels underwritten (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Sabrina Barr Metro	"[It] does manage to capture the fear that Jewish people felt in the 1960s (...) The series is bolstered by the strong performances of its talented cast (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
