	Media	Author	Review
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"Powerfully disturbing and deeply erotic."
		Craig Mathieson The Age	"A bracing, welcome corrective to the traditional British period romantic drama, upping the historic revisionism, queer perspective, and Gothic torment"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"Period drama passion with a modern twist (...) ITVX's Gothic costume drama-cum-lesbian romance is overwrought but entertaining (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Liv Facey Den of Geek	"Quality drama with mystery and heart (...) a beautiful, painful and queer story"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A rich, compelling story that keeps tight hold of its plot and leaves you hoping, almost as ardently as Fannie, for justice to be done (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"'The Confessions Of Frannie Lanington' succeeds because of the performance of Karla-Simone Spence, despite some disjoined storytelling that leaves viewers in the dark about some aspects of the story"
		Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard	"Four episodes of tightly scripted television that hit with devastating emotional force. (...) a celebration of the power of love (...) Just don’t watch without tissues to hand. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Janet A. Leigh Digital Spy	"In a mere fraction of an episode 'The Confessions of Frannie Langton' already handles queer love in an unabashed, sensual way that is still lacking in 'Bridgerton'"
