	Media	Author	Review
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Sharp writing, excellent cast keeps spy thriller 'The Veil' engaging"
		Whitney Friedlander Paste Magazine	"Even with its pleasant elements, there isn't much particularly new or fresh about this story"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Veil' first becomes perfunctory before fizzling entirely in its concluding episodes, in which almost none of its twisty reveals hits deeply on either a plot or character level"
		Carly Lane Collider	"['The Veil']'s story and characters are underserved by its runtime"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"As a spy story, it’s a decent example of its kind, but as a dramatic two-hander, fueled by subtle performances from Moss and Marwan, it’s pretty terrific"
		Jordan Hoffman IGN	"You’ve seen shows like this plenty of times before, and watching Elisabeth Moss try on a British accent has its charms"
		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"'The Veil' isn’t entertaining or pulsating with suspense. It’s predictable as hell for a globally-spanning crime thriller"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"I’m not entirely sure what I think of this series after the first two episodes, but I am certainly intrigued enough to keep watching. That still says a lot in a world where new series are coming out constantly (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Aramide Tinubu Variety	"Elisabeth Moss stuns in FX’s fascinating spy thriller "
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"The only real shock is why, at a time of far too much TV, anyone would waste their time watching this (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"There’s an intriguing show somewhere buried within the mysterious shrouds of 'The Veil', that’s just a little too slippery for its own good."
		Joel Keller Decider	"Moss sold us on her playing a spy who has no idea who she really is at this point"
		Liam Mathews TV Guide	"[It] is lick but lacks depth"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"The less its wispy premise holds together"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"After exciting premiere, Hulu thriller 'The Veil' bogs down over six episodes (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"While the series could benefit from added speed, the short episode count keeps the story moving and the secrets unraveling."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"Every streak comes to an end. Every actor eventually delivers a dud, and Moss is still a great actor. She just needs to start a new hot streak"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"'The Veil' lets Elisabeth Moss kick ass and take names. If only it gave her a real TV show"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"The themes and characterizations are crafted well enough to make for an overall satisfying viewing experience (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"To endure it is to risk baldness from all the outraged hair-pulling it inspires"
