	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"Florence Pugh is stunning (...) [It] sizzles slowly and intriguingly (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"The results, at least based on the two [first] episodes (...) are pretty damn fabulous (...) [It] craftily infuses a rueful, reflective dose of latter-day gender politics into its storytelling."	POS
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"The globe-trotting locations are equally lavish and the cinematic visuals no less lush, but some of the key roles feel miscast, while the stretched-out plot drags in places."	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Chan-wook infuses a bit of fun and a lot of beauty into the ’70s thriller, elevating it above AMC’s last le Carré adaptation, 'The Night Manager.' His game cast makes each of the six episodes all the better"	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"It looks fabulous throughout, with the production design in particular a real treat (...) As for the three leads, they’re all absolutely superb"	POS
United Kingdom	Jenny Desborough Mirror	"[Chan-wook's] small screen work offers as daring, bold and intriguing an experience as ever (...) It is visually bold, with the director using many of his classic moves in the routine."	POS
