	Media	Author	Review
		Carol Midgley The Times	"The Jeremy Bamber case, told with restraint (...) [The show] handled it as sensitively as could be hoped, with little explanatory dialogue and much use of silence (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[It] wastes its star Stephen Graham (...) It’s all a little paint-by-numbers (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ed Cumming The Independent	"Cressida Bonas is excellent (...) There are flashes of directorial elegance (...) The direction is content to let the facts speak for themselves. In a case like this, they are plenty (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Rosie Fletcher Den of Geek	"A powerful opener (...) This is a glossy production from the people who made 'Catherine The Great', and the relatively high profile cast handles the material well"
		Joel Keller Decider	"Despite good performances from Fox, Addy and Graham, 'The Murders At White House Farm' feels like it wants to tell a deeper story about these notorious murders from the ’80s but just can’t bring itself to do it."
		Lucy Pavia London Evening Standard	"A very good drama (...) skilfully cast and careful to avoid ghoulishness in its handling of one Britain’s most notorious murder cases. Freddie Fox is particularly good"
		Paul Kirkley Radio Times	"A tasteful treatment of one of Britain’s most notorious murders, performed by a first-rate cast(…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"Whittington superbly captured the claustrophobic atmosphere inside the farmhouse (...) It was gripping. And yet the thought would not leave me: what is the point of true-crime dramas like these? (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
