Season 1 Review:
First-rate. ... Powley renders Gies an endearingly flawed and emotional volatile heroine. [8 - 21 May 2023, p.6]

Season 1 Review:
Co-creators Joan Rater and Tony Phelan (“Grey’s Anatomy”) find a deeply humanist angle to this well-known piece of history by telling the story of Frank and her family through those who aided them. While the tragic ending for most of the family is no surprise, this approach allows them the grace of humor and anger and happiness and sadness in equal measure.

Season 1 Review:
Powley’s performance is particularly arresting. ... Rater and Phelan, and writers William Harper, Ben Esler and Alyssa Margarite, Jacobson sprinkle in glittering moments of defiance, humor and perseverance that help temper the very real feelings of rage and terror laced throughout the series. It’s a balancing act that isn’t often handled as eloquently as it is here.

Season 1 Review:
The look of the series is so typically period drama that the contemporary flourishes are likely to be more of a confusion and a distraction than a draw. However, it's still a emotionally weighty series with some impressive central performances, a truly incredibly real-life story to tell and an interesting, if not 100 per cent successful, approach to doing so.
