	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"A slowly unfolding, not particularly riveting story (...) There are subplots in 'The Widow', and those don't move very quickly or efficiently either"	NEG
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"Kate Beckinsale shines (...) Skillfully written by Harry and Jack Williams (...) It’s a smart addition to the Amazon TV lineup (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"An intriguing mystery-adventure that ultimately suffers from trying to shoehorn in too many storylines (...) Affecting performances keep the series from going off the rails"	NEU
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[It is] stymied by its unbearably slow pace and a collection of unnecessary subplots (...) 'The Widow' proves that Beckinsale can carry a television series"	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"It’s a compelling puzzle, a potato-chip show — as soon as you finish one episode, you reach for another."	POS
United States	Allison Shoemaker rogerebert.com	"There’s little that might compel you to hold your breath or swell with dread (...) There’s an admirable bluntness to how the show approaches death, violence, heartbreak, cowardice, and corruption."	NEU
