	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Gerard Gilbert The Independent	"The most underrated television drama of 2019 (...) Macdonald gives a wonderfully wry and touching performance (...) It’s stylistically bold without ever being overbearingly arty"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"Nothing here feels new or revelatory (...) I am hoping that the actor playing Roy (...) gets something more to do (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Michael Hogan Telegraph	"The opening episode was ambitious and lifted further by fine performances (...) This bold, bewitching and slightly bonkers eight-parter could be something truly special (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Patrick Cremona Radio Times	"'Giri/Haji' has been a breath of fresh air – and one of the best shows of the year. The eight-part series is a masterful and sprawling thriller (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Sexton London Evening Standard	"[It] is sharply shot and edited and not afraid of adopting radical devices (...) We haven’t seen the perspective of a Japanese detective on London before"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"The first episode of 'Giri/Haji' sets up an intriguing mystery/family drama (...) Plus it has Kelly Macdonald being very nerdy, which is fun to watch."	POS
United States	Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"A masterful, emotionally engrossing international thriller (...) One of the year’s best surprises"	POS
