    The entire series story can be wrapped up in 2-3 episodes, except it drags it out over 8, each episodes takes so long to get the point to progress the story, with 75% of it just filler, boring scenes and music.

    The series lost me at ep4 and watched the rest whilst doing chores... Thanks Apple, for the background noise.

    For the first two or three episodes of eight, the series is a reasonably entertaining game. ... By the second half of the series, though, the twists and turns of the game grew tedious, making the shallowness of the characters more obvious. I just wanted to get to the end already. Ultimately, “Surface” was half of a good time, leading to nothing especially satisfying.

    A a surprisingly fun and engaging game of Clue. ... Surface has the deliciously engaging, nail-biting episodic structure of a suspenseful primetime soap you would’ve watched on ABC in the mid-2000s. The series is also bolstered by an ensemble of captivating performances.

    In general West has wisely borrowed a page from British thrillers that don't try to do too much and focus instead on giving discerning audiences what they tuned in for. The only criticism after watching the first three episodes is that Surface already feels one episode too long.
