This is a world of blood and viscera, body fluids, and entrails, and Kurzel is going to show you all of it. And with a brilliant cast of actors, you’ll want to keep going where this road promises to take you. Read full review

There’s a lingering soulfulness here that feels new to Kurzel’s work, distilled in an intensely moving lead performance from Jacob Elordi. Read full review

The Narrow Road To The Deep North is a gritty, powerful watch with striking imagery and riveting performances that sometimes read as subtle in all the best ways. Read full review

The Telegraph Tim Robey

Hinds is already a mighty force in it, but we wait for the biggest tests regarding Elordi. His laconic restraint, which has so much potential, needs to judder and implode to give the whole story a core. If he gets us there, it will be unmissable. Read full review

There’s a visceral quality to most scenes — the clammy humidity, the golden warmth of a sandy beach, the icy sterility of a gray office — as the show teases out the pains and pleasures of the body along with its grander ideas about the mind, the heart, the world, war. “Narrow” is patient, but it isn’t slow.

The Narrow Road to the Deep North is a tough watch, but one that doesn't hold back from displaying the cruelty of war and the dangers of blind ambition. Read full review

The Playlist Marshall Shaffer

Feb 18, 2025

Kurzel’s surveys of their gaggle, often from above in some form of coordinated motion, are exhilarating demonstrations of fraternal belonging that pop against the show’s desaturated color palette. The show could stand to humanize them a bit further, though. Only Dorrigo’s chum Frank Gardiner (Thomas Weatherall) stands out from the undifferentiated masses. Read full review
