	Author	Review
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[A] smart, funny, and sexy dark comedy series that lives and dies by the chemistry of its leads (...) It’s easy to get swept up in their journey together, because we genuinely buy their attraction to one another."	POS
United States	Lea Palmieri Decider	"It feels impossible that anything better than this series will grace our screens this year. It’s that good (...) never lets up on being intriguing and sexy and keeping viewers guessing."	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It suffers] from leaning too hard on its leads’ (...) chemistry rather than tightening its story, which quickly takes some needlessly complicated turns"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"With this cast, Jones’ lead, and Waller-Bridge’s involvement (no matter how minor), 'Run' can still find its groove. Once Billy and Ruby stop fleeing from reality and face their past, viewers will know whether they’re a couple worth following."	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"Stuck between unsatisfying character study and lackluster mystery (...) Its execution feels half-measured on nearly every level"	NEG
United States	Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"[It] is billed as a comedy, but it feels more like a quirky, dramatic stage play. Wever and Gleeson are outstanding together and apart	POS
United States	Steven Scaife Slant	"The long-form storytelling obligations of a TV series soon overwhelm this simple but compelling premise (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Hugh Montgomery BBC	"[It has] both comic nuance and emotional force (...) At the core of 'Run's success is an utterly beguiling performance by Wever (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"I could tell you that 'Run' (...) is HBO’s next must-watch series. As things currently stand, it isn’t, but it’s a decent enough romantic adventure"	NEU
United States	Gavia Baker-Whitelaw The Daily Dot	"A Hitchcockian thriller with plenty of sex appeal, moral ambiguity and dark humor. Perfect for fans of 'Killing Eve' (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"The first episode of 'Run' sets up an adventure full of secrets and sexual tension, even if its pacing is slower than you might think."	POS
