Critic Reviews
Season 1 Review:
[Mia McKenna-Bruce as Jane is] a performance that anchors the series. By contrast, Natalie Dormer, as Sarah, never quite lands. .... The detectives, however, feel underwritten; their investigative work is so thinly drawn that the conviction itself strains credibility. Despite all this—or perhaps because of it—The Lady remains a frothy, distinctly British watch.

Season 1 Review:
Despite solid performances and appealing visuals, The Lady struggles with its narrative structure. In the first three episodes, there are two timelines in play. .... There's never any warning when The Lady switches between the two timelines, which chops up the story into small, disjointed chunks.

Season 1 Review:
With a good cast (Philip Glenister and Claire Skinner also appear in supporting roles), appealing period production design, and a bouncy soundtrack ranging from Depeche Mode to Blondie, it’s clear that proper effort has been exerted on The Lady. It’s just a shame, then, that the series can’t escape its licentious origins in the worst sort of sleazy journalism.
