Season 1 Review: There’s a pedestrian tone to the script that makes this all less compelling than it should be. Read full review

The GuardianLucy ManganSep 30, 2024
Season 1 Review: The serviceable script doesn’t ask too much of the strong cast (including Gershwyn Eustache Jr as Albie, Boisie’s warmly menacing best friend and fence), but they produce as solid a piece of entertainment as you could ask for, offering a little bit of escapism and a soupcon of suspense. It’s enough to while away an autumnal evening or six. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Joan is part giddy heist, part social drama, and the two genres combine unevenly in a series that feels torn between escapism and the desire to be something grittier. Read full review

The TelegraphAnita Singh Sep 30, 2024
Season 1 Review: Joan just plods along with nothing to lift it. Sex scenes are also thrown in at regular intervals, yet, as well, they lack sizzle. Turner does her best, and looks striking in the fashions. But even the period stylings feel half-baked. Read full review
