	Media	Author	Review
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"With a strong cast and striking visuals, this latest version of 'Let the Right One' In feels dramatically different from its predecessors (...) a risky but rewarding experiment"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"The real problem with 'Let the Right One In' could be how often it strays from its source (...) it’s dull in ways that the book and films never were"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The show unfortunately does not stand out in a crowded marketplace for vamp dramas. It fails to connect its premise and the emotional work happening to its horror elements"
		Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting	"The strong performances and emotional depth of these relationships guarantee that 'Let the Right One In' is far more than just another vampire series (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Hattie Lindert AV Club	"If the 2010 American adaptation was unnecessary, Showtime’s is simply gratuitous (...) In an attempt to build out a full-season arc, the series drowns its central characters in expositional dialogue and needless new plot devices."
		Keith Phipps TV Guide	"Like its source material, it's good at complex relationships between troubled characters, but nothing else really works"
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"Soulful and compelling (...) 'Let the Right One In' beats the odds, and is the kind of ambitious project that does well with its precious material.
		Josh Bell CBR	"'Let the Right One' In loses much of what made the original movies great, delivering little suspense and mystery (...) a glum drama about uninteresting relationships"
		Samantha Nelson IGN	"The series premiere shows the potential for a solid mythology-heavy drama, but it lacks the brutal bite that made the previous adaptations so powerful"
		Shane Ryan Paste Magazine	"This is a fun show to watch, and while I stop short of calling it a great show, it nonetheless achieves more than enough dramatic momentum to be worthy of a good, gory binge."
		Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"Like a vampire who didn't ask to be born, 'Let the Right One In' keeps getting resurrected against better judgment, and it seems to be losing more and more of its essence in the process each time"
		Amanda Feinman Slant	"Affecting but spread too thin (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The show is most interesting when the kids are at the center (...) Foreman and Baez are genuine and touching, and it’s easy to invest in their story"
		Joel Keller Decider	"A bit uneven, mainly because some stories are less interesting than others"
		John Doyle The Globe and Mail	"There are moments when the series is delicate, and sensitive... But the sum is less than its parts and while breezily watchable as horror, it loses power when it's a crime-drama"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Though it isn't as good as the adaptations before it, Showtime's retelling manages to be emotionally shattering on its own (...) there is something in 'Let the Right One' In that sneaks up on you when you least expect it to."
		Ben Dowell The Times	"It is hard to imagine this becoming anything more than slightly bloodless, generic fare"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[This] series isn't going to convince anyone it's the best adaptation to date, but there's enough reason yet again to welcome Ellie into your home"
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"The choices Andrew Hinderaker makes to expand the story into a TV series land beautifully"
		Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"A feature's worth of story cannot always be made to fill a serial run time, but it seems that that's not going to stop anyone from trying (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
