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:
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.
