	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Patrick Cremona Radio Times	"The six episodes are enjoyable enough despite various flaws that ensure the series can’t quite match up to more successful Scandi-noir dramas of its type"	NEU
United Kingdom	Chris Bennion The Times	"The worst TV drama of the streaming era (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Joel Golby The Guardian	"[It] has you wearing the jumper, but the cosiness just isn’t hitting"	NEU
United States	Louisa Mellor Den of Geek	"The result is a very watchable urban noir (...) At six episodes, it’s satisfyingly compact with functional cliff-hangers making it a very easy binge."	POS
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"With an ill-timed subject, no sense of tact, mismatched accents, and utterly leaden dialogue, Netflix’s prequel series Young Wallander is a crime scene not worth investigating (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"There is enough going on in 'Young Wallander', especially the immigration storyline, that will keep viewers watching. But we just wish Wallander himself was a more interesting character."	NEU
