	Media	Author	Review
		Marshall Shaffer The Playlist	"Soderbergh knows how to tell a tight story that delivers payouts at reasonable intervals"
		Josh Bell CBR	"A thoughtful yet thrilling story about the price of secrets"
		Susie Bright San Francisco Chronicle	"Soderbergh proves that as long as he's standing with a camera in one hand and an editing knife in the other, his Swiss-clock timing for suspense and emotional depth will not be denied (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[It] proves a frustrating journey"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon use noir as a vehicle for ethical drama, taut thrills, and capitalistic censure in 'Full Circle'"
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"You need to be willing to stay in the moment as you watch, willing to keep driving without a map, in order to enjoy. Your faith will be rewarded at last"
		Ross McIndoe Slant	"The series is buoyed by a sharp script but fails to develop a real sense of momentum (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Three complex stories but ties them together beautifully (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It’s a story with many levels and various twists. All very character-driven, which is a gift when the cast is this amazing (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Conspicuous camera moves distract from rather than enhance the action, and a dour, foregrounded score adds an extra layer of weight. Despite its busyness, 'Full Circle' can be hard going"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] either has trouble getting out of its own way or is determined to swerve away from its best elements"
		Emily Bernard Collider	"Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon absolutely belong in the world of crime dramas"
		Kylie Northover The Age	"A knotty thriller with a star cast (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"A tense and twisty crime thriller that features an impressive line-up both in its cast and its crew. Yet it never quite reaches the heady heights of Soderbergh's best work or that of anyone else involved, either (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Manuel Betancourt AV Club	"An engrossing miniseries with enough twists and turns to keep you hooked episode to episode (...) as with all things Soderbergh, is definitely worth catching"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"A whip-smart thriller with well-measured twists (...) It balances the experimental and the satisfying in a way TV should strive for more often"
		Akos Peterbencze Paste Magazine	"Dull, confusing, and emotionally empty"
		Alison Herman Variety	"[It] is a minor work from a major voice, though the show completes its arc with aplomb"
		Jenna Clarke The Australian	"'Full Circle' fits the bill for those craving some prestigious television with a stellar cast and suspense"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A six-part limited series with a phenomenal cast and expectedly ace direction (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 0)"
