	Media	Author	Review
		Anita Singh Telegraph	"A gripping cyber thriller (...) [This] intelligent, chilling drama about a Russian cyber attack on the UK is hampered by some implausible Hollywood plotting (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"A glacially paced show where GCHQ staff seem like bored office workers, and the one-note dialogue feels like something from a kids’ novel. (...) it doesn’t provide much in the way of dramatic tension (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"This densely detailed show eventually gets someplace chilling in its final episodes (...) But the first half of this six-chapter series has a tendency to drag"
		Flora Carr Radio Times	"This series exceeds expectations, guiding viewers by the hand through the complex world of cybersecurity - and then refusing to relinquish its grip until the final episode (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Cote AV Club	"Timely if sluggish and ultimately unfocused (...) 'The Undeclared War' fails to create a protagonist quirky or layered enough to carry a season, and Khalique-Brown has two speeds: earnest or unhappy."
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Despite the stars giving it their all, the show lacks the necessary tension needed to leave an impact."
		John Townsend Slant	"An Undeclared War' is the streaming equivalent of watching your laptop run through a security update to remove Russian malware (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
