	Author	Review
United States	Robyn Bahr The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: a thrilling, brainy bodice-ripper that combines the epic wordplay of Shakespeare, the ruthless political survivalism of Machiavelli and the gutting sentimentality of Mario Puzo"	POS
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: There were so many twists in the first two seasons that it was hard to see where it might go next (...) But on the basis of its first three episodes, the ante has been upped."	POS
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: The addition of a molly house and real stakes switches up the formula to keep the Hulu series spirited and relevant."	POS
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: a heartbreaking season 2 (...) The battle of the brothels continues its exploration of the dark and distasteful state of women’s oppression."	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"It’s admirably lighthearted, and much more kinetic than the typical period piece."	POS
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"The show's team of producers, directors and writers is largely female, which partially explains why 'Harlots' is a fresh look at an age-old profession."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"This is the most promising thread in 'Harlots', and what will likely keep you watching: the drama of losing sight of the line between survival and exploitation."	POS
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Two episodes are not a definitive indication of the tone to come, but 'Harlots' is already entertaining, and there are enough hints here to suggest that it could be intriguingly unique."	POS
United States	Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"It is gripping, surprising, at times humorous and even a bit thought-provoking when it comes to exploring how sex is just as valuable as money or power."	POS
