	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Excellent all around (...) [It] is already one of the best things appearing on TV in 2017"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"'Guerrilla' excels because of its interest in how individuals digest revolution"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The series builds to that climax in an almost casual way, fleshing out some characters and plotlines but leaving others thin. That can be frustrating at times, but it’s all a sort of misdirection that makes the final episode all the more jolting."	NEU
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"Ridley has a shrewd and multifaceted grasp of the various ironies and class resentments informing London's social macro (...) but the micro eludes him (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Hugh Muir The Guardian	"This show (...) is very much for the mainstream (...) Sometimes, it is soap opera (...) Some will wish for more gravitas (...) 'Guerrilla' is what it is, and I’ll take it for that."	NEU
United States	Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"A smart and solemn period piece (...) The arcs of Marcus and Jas are compelling"	POS
United Kingdom	Jasper Rees Telegraph	"'Guerrilla' works hard to feel viscerally real, rather than a dramatised lecture about a dialectical struggle. But it has its flaws (...) A drama about black power [that] disempowers black women (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"Ridley leaves an indelible directorial stamp on the opening third of this series with some of his standby sensory touches."	POS
