United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[A] sweeping, harrowing look at how the aftershock of a disaster ripples out into people’s lives (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Sean L. McCarthy Decider	"One of those shows that get going quickly but doesn’t need a ton of exposition to hook you in. You want to know why all of this happened, and finding out even a little bit will be intriguing to watch."	POS

United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It doesn’t quite come together like its first half promises (...) but it has solid performances throughout (...) I think there may be a stronger version of 'The Accident' that doesn’t feel as rushed as this one"	NEU

Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"Although it is only four hours, 'The Accident' can feel as though it’s taking twice that long to say what it’s trying to say (...) Thorne approaches the story from a fascinating angle"	NEU
