Los Angeles TimesLorraine AliAug 10, 2018
Season 1 Review: The three-episode period drama deviates from the book’s narrative yet still manages to weave an equally intriguing whodunit. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Every part is well-performed, but the most-acclaimed veterans--Nighy, Goode, Treadaway--do somewhat steal the show. All three are, as they almost always are, reason enough to watch on their own. And you get a crackling mystery too. Read full review
