Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertDec 19, 2018
Season 1 Review: It’s well-acted all around and paced briskly enough to take up seven hours without filler. There’s nothing particularly ingenious about it; but there’s no looking down on a good story smartly told. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushDec 6, 2018
Season 1 Review: Olivia Cooke vibrantly inhabits what little soul the ruthlessly opportunistic Becky Sharp possesses in this irreverent seven-part adaptation of the Thackeray classic. [10 - 23 Dec 2018, p.9]

San Francisco ChronicleCarlos ValladaresDec 14, 2018
Season 1 Review: Much of the show is a conscious bowdlerization of the epic Thackeray novel. What is lost in the wry and fat prose, the skewering of petty gnat-sized gentry, is regained in the lean performances of the perpetually suffering actors, especially Cooke’s Becky Sharp. Read full review
