Aaron Barnhart

There is much more to chew on than simply a story about refugees in Australia. Stateless is that rare show that demands a fairly sizable investment of your time; once you let it in your head, you may have a hard time getting it out. Read full review

Stateless starts slow, and its earnestness may be off-putting to some. But it has something profound to say about how injustice can snowball into catastrophe. Read full review

The Independent Ed Cumming

Jul 8, 2020

This is an intriguing, sympathetic and humane drama that also serves as a critical examination of the Australian immigration system. Read full review

Mike Hale

While the series, available in the United States on Netflix beginning Wednesday, is well made, well acted and well intentioned, it’s probably less interesting as a social-problem drama than as an example of what even the Cate Blanchetts of the world have to do to get a social-problem drama made.

Jul 9, 2020

There no doubt that it is a gripping watch and a worthwhile effort, regardless of reasons that may draw in viewers. Whether audiences will effectively process the messages imparted behind the dual serving of celebrity tease and well-meaning white people angst is frustratingly unclear. Read full review

The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Jul 6, 2020

It’s a case of good intentions undone by hackneyed and creaky execution, although solid performances and a sense of palpable outrage at least keep it from totally crumbling under the weight of its leaden drama. Read full review
