	Media	Author	Review
		Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine	"Whether this Catherine de Medici will ultimately turn out to be the hero of her own story or the villain the world has long claimed, at least 'The Serpent Queen is finally giving her a chance to speak for herself.
		Liam Mathews TV Guide	"A show for people who like dark humor and moral turpitude mixed in with their beautiful period costumes and sets."
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Samantha Morton is a perfect Catherine de Medici (...) The Serpent Queen proves to be more than worth getting wrapped up in, with the story only luring us in — much like the snake in its title.
		Max Gao AV Club	"Morton gives another deliciously villainous turn (...) For all its minor faults, though, The Serpent Queen still feels like a worthy successor to the likes of 'Becoming Elizabeth', 'The White Princess', and 'The Spanish Princess'"
		Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"'The Serpent Queen' tries to be the Great, but ends up merely good (...) when the series strays from Catherine to focus on the internecine conflicts of its supporting cast, 'The Serpent Queen' loses momentum.
		Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald	"Director Stacie Passon conducts the opening episodes with elan and a keen eye for power dynamics at every level. Thoroughly enthralling telly. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"While it definitely shares a kinship with Starz’s other Tudor-centric series, Morton’s knowingly malevolent portrayal, alongside Hill, spices up the proceedings just enough to elicit interest"
