	Media	Author	Review
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"The Green-Cassel matchup is magnetic, composed of actors capable of creating depth amid mayhem, and character without dialogue"
		Akos Peterbencze Slant	"It lacks an inventive approach or even a satisfying character-driven angle (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 5)"
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"'Liaison' acts like a complex, smart suspense drama, but it doesn't really have the goods to back it up"
		Jasper Rees Telegraph	"Best binged at speed, with copious pinches of sel (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"A total mess of a TV show (...) Its plot is convoluted, its dialogue baffling and its romantic segments hammy (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Lauren Sarner New York Post	"A competent thriller that mixes action with character-driven drama. C'est bon"
		Meredith Hobbs Coons AV Club	"'Liaison' is entertaining in a way that a ride can be: all experience, little substance (...) There shouldn't be [season two]"
		Elizabeth Gregory London Evening Standard	"Green is convincing (...) It's let down by a series of frustratingly unlikely situations. Small things, but pull at that thread and it can't help but unravel much of the tension for the viewer (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"An uninspiring spy thriller devoid of tension or engaging characters (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Shane Ryan Paste Magazine	"Good with occasional forays into very good, and that's the simplest way to put it..."
		Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"We've seen something like 'Liaison' a million times before done with more zip and verve, and no amount of shrugging in Brexit's direction can make up for how tired everything feels"
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"Compulsively watchable and incredibly gripping"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"[It] wastes talents of its sexy stars, Vincent Cassel and Eva Green"
		Craig Mathieson The Age	"['Liaison']'s energy source is the fierce chemistry between stars Eva Green and Vincent Cassel (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Instead of deepening and complicating the network of relationships at its core, the story’s twists and turns only highlight how flimsily conceived they actually are."
		Abby Cavenaugh Collider	"A perfectly fine spy series (...) Cassel and Green turn in superb performances"
		Joel Keller Decider	"A show that leaves little to no impression on us after watching it, mainly because it feels like a cynical pastiche of espionage thrillers that came before it"
