	Media	Author	Review
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[A] devastating TV that shows what makes life worth living (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"The End is provocative, and sometimes difficult to watch. It is occasionally funny. But Strauss hasn’t yet found a way to make those things co-exist (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Kylie Northover Sydney Morning Herald	"It’s a joy to see older people, particularly women, in roles with genuine depth (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"The result is a bit mixed, though Walter (...) and O’Connor (...) do good work (...) The show seems unsure how best to use its time"
		Candice Frederick The Wrap	"Kate and Edie’s dynamic that anchors the audience (...) Where 'The End' does succeed is how it complicates already complex conversations around life and death"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A dark comedy of sorts, 'The End' is annoyingly superficial, and filled with writing that constantly telegraphs how much it thinks it’s saying something about life and death instead of actually bothering to do so."
		Abigail Gillibrand Metro	"What first appears as a thought-provoking and controversial series, actually secures family, love and friendship at the heart of the show (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"It’s all in the absurdities of life, and this well-written and well-acted show promises to be a satisfying watch to anyone ready for its bleakness."
