	Author	Review
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"'The Game' is next-level entertainment, courtesy of smart scripts and a cast of finely drawn characters."	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Laced with mordant wit and tinged with sinister inference."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Not all that much happens, but the episodes nip along just smartly enough to sustain interest as to what this jigsaw puzzle will look like once assembled."	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"Stylish and superbly performed, BBC America's Cold War drama 'The Game' offers more to look at than think about, but then there's something about espionage that almost always calls for a little eye candy."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"It's about characters and their slow unraveling along with the mystery at hand. Whithouse has assembled a superb cast of relative unknowns who support the main Hughes-Cox tandem and add layers."	POS
