Season 1 Review: Moffat and his very deep bench of talented performers create characters that defy expectation and grow in complexity with each episode. Read full review

Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzAug 23, 2013
Season 1 Review: With the second and third episodes ever more predictable, and, not least, with Martha's character gone flat under the weight of a preening righteousness. If bad scriptwriting were a prosecutable offense, Ms. Peake might have a case here. Still, episode one of Silk is smartly written and highly entertaining--a treat, in short, and at two hours a sumptuous one. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ms. Peake is excellent as Costello, but the character, and the show, feel so rigged and inauthentic that even her skilled work can’t make the case for our sticking around. Read full review
