	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ellen E. Jones The Guardian	"At a time when the absurdity of media 'debates' on race reveals this country’s general lack of understanding, a show that so starkly demonstrates structural racism is revolutionary (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Fiona Sturges The Independent	"[Its] existence feels apt at a time in which racist discourse is increasingly normalised in the shadow of Trump and Brexit (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Louisa Mellor Den of Geek	"Even if it sometimes falls short of subtlety or complexity, its purpose in prompting audiences of every background to imagine themselves in another skin is still vital."	POS
United Kingdom	Anita Singh Telegraph	"This ambitious, provocative race drama is a must-see (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	David Sexton London Evening Standard	"While it keeps the basic set-up of the novel (...) much else has changed (...) The whole drama has been ramped up, modernised, expanded and revised"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Intriguing world-building squandered on a hollow central love story (...) I can't get past the feeling that the series is trying to do two touchy and complicated things"	NEU
United States	Tambay Obenson IndieWire	"[It] should be a far more uncomfortable, necessary watch in uncertain times of peak racial and social unrest. It’s clearly striving for that, but it isn’t as radical as it could be."	NEU
United States	Nadra Kareem Nittle AV Club	"Although 'Noughts + Crosses' is an imperfect series, it features some compelling performances (...) It doesn’t go beyond the surface when it comes to imagining a world that lacks the legacy of white supremacy"	NEU
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"'Noughts + Crosses' has its issues, but the cast is compelling to watch and we hope that some of its obviousness will get smoothed out as we get more into the actual story."	NEU
