	Author	Review
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"We’re giving a cautious recommendation to 'The Journalist' because we think writer Michihito Fujii has established the bones of a good story."	POS
Hong Kong	James Marsh South China Morning Post	"'The Journalist' should be applauded for its take on Japanese politics – but the show has a tendency to oversimplify and its lead character suffers as a result (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jack Seale The Guardian	"If you want something better, the programme says, you – as an individual – have to speak up. Naive and sentimental though 'The Journalist' may be, it is not wrong about that (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Benji Wilson Telegraph	"[It] is addictive and believable, but leaves no cliché unturned (...) [This is] the same story we’ve seen many times before (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"The series is applaudable in its realism (...) [It] makes for a great case study into the perishable nature of political hierarchy (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Japan	James Hadfield The Japan Times	"The show improves on the film in a number of ways (...) The villains of the story are just as cartoonish as in the original film, and the messaging no more sophisticated (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"A smartly paced, well-written, political pressure cooker, with enough tension, drama and thrills to keep you watching until the very end"	POS
