	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"Refreshingly original entertainment (...) Besides some great dialogue, Colla has gifted Channel 4 with a central character rooted enough to sustain several more series should this find its audience (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"This is a superior drama that hooks you with a well-worn premise (...) but goes much deeper, asking uncomfortable questions about the West’s responsibility in the Middle East (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] is well-written, -directed and -acted, and the debut episode sets the table for some potentially vigorous drama.	POS
