Critics' reviews

"An excellent ensemble poignantly humanizes the last months of British rule over Yemen"

Inkoo Kang: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] is both patient and powerful (...) 'The Last Post' succeeds in part because the women of the series are not merely accessories for their military counterparts."

Steve Greene: IndieWire
"Amazon’s imitative British period drama reveals little about history or humanity. So what’s the point? (...) A creative knock-off"

Melanie McFarland: Salon
"'The Last Post' provides compelling human drama, especially in depicting life on the base. But it feels untethered from history, or perhaps context"

Lorraine Ali: Los Angeles Times
"A parade of heavy-handed ironies and odd implausibilities (...) As a production, 'The Last Post' feels undernourished (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"

Jasper Rees: Telegraph
"Soapy but gritty."

Graeme Virtue: The Guardian
