Season 1 Review:
Gadon is an electrifying lead, and as our potentially unreliable narrator recalls her journey to notoriety, director Mary Harron lets her claustrophobia simmer until it crescendos in an eerie fever pitch. [3 Nov 2017, p.54]

Season 1 Review:
The pace is occasionally glacial, and there were moments when I was as impatient as the (fictional) Dr. Simon Jordan (Edward Holcroft, Wolf Hall) for Grace to get to the point of her long and twisted tale. Pay attention, though: There will be a payoff. The real attraction is the performances, particularly Gadon’s as the model inmate.

Season 1 Review:
The show’s direction, by American Psycho filmmaker Mary Harron, is elegant, and the script, by Away from Her writer/director Sarah Polley, is crisply modern in its understanding of characters’ psychological realities yet blurry enough on the margins to allow in delicious ambiguity.

Season 1 Review:
The miniseries ... packs considerable drama, emotion and misery into six episodes. It’s so heavy throughout the first installment, you might wish for at least one of the characters to open a parlor window and let in some air, but as the story progresses it becomes too engrossing to turn away.

Season 1 Review:
[Sarah] Gadon is alluringly enigmatic as we wonder if she's playing him [a doctor interviewing her], but the overall effect is less than hypnotizing. [30 Oct 2017 - 12 Nov 2017, p.13]
