Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/12/2023
4/5
It’s far too cartoonish to become another phenomenon... Still, as dystopian escapism goes, the series delivers thrill, spills and chills with dead-eyed efficiency. Go to Full Review

3/5
It’s all endearingly silly – imagine that your Ocado driver is Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road, and you won’t be far off. Go to Full Review
Pallavi Keswani The Hindu 01/23/2024
While it remains wanting of a simpler but effective treatment of its plots and characters, Black Knight checks off all the boxes required to successfully transport us to a dusty, desolate South Korea. Go to Full Review
Nuha Hassan Off Colour 09/08/2023
There are so many disconnects between the subplots and the character journey’s that, ultimately, makes it difficult to binge-watch Black Knight. Go to Full Review

3/4
"Black Knight" takes place 40 years after a comet crashed into Earth, nearly destroying the entire population. The Korean series is clearly a parable for what could happen to our world if we don't take better care of the most vulnerable among us. Go to Full Review

7/10
The South Korean industry once again demonstrates its strength by shaping an entertaining film full of action and intrigue that skillfully balances its cliches with a good dose of intensity and an admirable ability to captivate. Go to Full Review

Jessica L @SweetPinky Dec 20 Highly addictive from start to end ! It’s very unique in its genre and very well done ! Im not really a sci-fi fan in general but this show has just the perfect balance of action & drama with a touch of sci-fi that makes the show perfect I loved it !! See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 16 6 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Zuzana K 10/01/2024 Absolutely loved it. I wasnt captivated at the beginning but as i kept watching it kept getting better and better. As a fan of dystopian genre i enjoyed it although i must admit some parts of the story were almost like a cliche (rich trying to wipe out the poor). Still loved it though! The cast was 10/10, acting amazing. But i might just enjoyed it a bit too much simply because of the main actor 🤭 the good guys were just so cool, it was packed with action, the young boy’s training reminded me of anime ‘Hajime no Ippo’ - love! Some parts of the storyline were quite predictable but i didnt mind. Still kept me on the edge. As a movie/series lover, i’d seriously give this 8/10. See more Cookie M 09/03/2023 Don't have to dissect this series, it was enjoyable with lots of action and emotion. Like the lead character he didn't care if he was liked or not. I could go for another season. See more Thomas W @ThomACE 06/11/2023 Immersive / good acting / very good storyline / well executed dystopian future. A must see! See more Shawn 06/05/2023 The show is constant exposition and feels like it was written by a nine year old. I had trouble getting through the first episode if hadn't have made laugh so much for being so stupid. They focused so much on the visuals and action I think the story, acting or audience engagement seems to fall by the way side. See more Read all reviews
