	Media	Author	Review
		Emma Bullimore Mirror	"A brilliantly compelling mystery"
		Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald	"David Farr and his roster of directors do the creepy stuff well, although seven episodes does feel a bit long for the story (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Michael Hogan Telegraph	"A captivating conspiracy thriller with an enjoyably explosive finale (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Chris Wasser Irish Independent	"'The Midwich Cuckoos' is effective, engaging and full of ideas. It is, at its core, a fascinating thesis on bodily autonomy and the crippling anxieties of young parenthood"
		Nick Hilton The Independent	"This all sounds quite fun, but sadly the script never ignites (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Carol Midgley The Times	"It’s enjoyably freakish (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"To make such a pedestrian version of Wyndham’s book, instead of using its potent premise, feels like a hugely wasted opportunity (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
