	Media	Author	Review
		Ricky Valero Ready Steady Cut	"While 'The Rig' fails to connect you to the characters emotionally, the mysterious fog/creature keeps you invested throughout the six episodes (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"It’s a modern take on an old narrative form (...) [It] will keep you going until the end. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"A great cast (...) Personally, I am looking forward to watching the final half of the six episodes of the series (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		James Hibbs Radio Times	"This is still highly watchable fare with some strong performances and atmosphere, it's just not quite as propulsive or as innovative as one might have hoped (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Benji Wilson Telegraph	"Iain Glen and Martin Compston deliver top-notch performances (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"While there isn’t a ton of character development as 'The Rig' starts, the acting is excellent, and it makes the tension that’s building on the Kinloch Bravo feel palpable"
		Clint Worthington rogerebert.com	"Macpherson doesn't reinvent the sci-horror wheel (...) But the show is effective in a nuts-and-bolts thriller way"
