	Media	Author	Review
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It’s a well-made, deftly acted period drama, but one built on an irksome plotting philosophy: Why be direct when you can be cryptic?"
		Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"A thoughtful examination of an extraordinary time (...) It’s bold, and beautiful, haunting, clever and original."
		Ben Dowell Radio Times	"It looks amazing and does shed light on an interesting period in British life. But it also feels like a history lesson, and less of a drama."
		Helen Kelly Express	"The first instalment was certainly an interesting one and with the scene set, 'Close to the Enemy' looks set to be a real nail-biter."
