	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Stories about missing parents, death and loneliness predominate, setting up 'Tale's as either a perfect, or perfectly unpleasant, show for viewers who are in quarantine or some form of isolation and turning to our audiovisual technology to fill a void."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"It’s a show that is fascinating to look at (...) even if its narrative is more conceptually interesting than moment-to-moment engaging. "	POS
United States	Matt Fagerholm rogerebert.com	"With a set-up promising untold wonders, it’s a bit of a letdown when the three hour-long episodes made available for review (...) tread such familiar territory."	NEU
United States	Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"After watching the three episodes (...) it’s hard to hide the fact we were blown away. Here’s hoping the remaining chapters live up to what we’ve seen so far.	POS
United Kingdom	Joel Golby The Guardian	"On paper, this retro sci-fi set in an eerie town should be like crack. Shame they forgot to include any plot"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps TV Guide	"[Halpern] has a gift for keying into the eerie beauty of Stålenhag's visuals and finding stories that match their disquieting melancholy. (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Hoai-Tran Bui SlashFilm	"[It] often toes the line between beguiling and boring, through it shows enough flashes of brilliance to keep you hooked."	NEU
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"A quiet and unique exploration of life in a small town affected by singular circumstances (...) and a brilliant homage to the Stålenhag paintings. (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"[It] feels like something that should be hung on a wall, admired and interpreted rather than a show that a viewer can lean in, watch, and get involved in. TV can be art, but this isn’t what we had in mind."	NEG
Canada	Varun Patel TheCinemaholic	"[It] is yet another show that ought to be included in everyone’s to-watch list (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"[It] is a few good episodes away from being a fantastic Amazon series, suffering from a heavily weighted vision (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
