2.5/5
This limited series is shorn of subtlety. Go to Full Review Keith Watson Daily Telegraph (UK) 03/19/2025

In truth, three episodes are simply not enough to cover the ground Fear is tackling. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 03/19/2025
4/5
The setup feels horribly realistic and plays horribly effectively with our innate fears of our homes, our security, our sanity becoming undone, at the mercy of a force seemingly beyond our control. Go to Full Review Juan Carlos Galindo El Pais (Spain) Oct 16
Incidentally, the series' greatest asset is [Martin Compston]: best known for the excellent Line of Duty,...Compston builds a complex character here...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Emily Baker iNews.co.uk 03/17/2025
2/5
Fear's biggest transgression is how it fails to do justice to a perfectly solid idea for a thriller. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 03/11/2025
What made this drama a cut above was its determination to go beyond the cliches. This inventiveness, the quality of the production, plus a cast including James Cosmo and Maureen Beattie as Martyn’s mum and dad, made for a belter of a thriller. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

SirLallington T @RT16795311 03/22/2025 Most of the characters were unlikable, especially the father 😜 I wouldn't recommend it, as it dragged on for far too long 🧐✌️ See more Melissa S @RT48832520 03/17/2025 I have been looking forward to this, usually love MC, but it was a disappointment. Never really sets the characters up as people we should care about, the husband is an A hole, and the whole thing just makes no sense. I am halfway through last episode so something may still happen to save it…but doubt it. Especially if it goes the way it looks to be headed. See more Linsay S @RT45028458 03/10/2025 The worst series with Martin compston ever. Seriously expected better. Terrible camera work. Terrible acting. Generally just the worst 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back See more Read all reviews
