Camilla Long The Times (UK) 06/27/2023

3/5
Even if the stakes feel bizarrely low (especially for a show about an international conspiracy), the action is handsomely mounted. Go to Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times 12/16/2022
2/5

This layered political drama is grounded by a career best turn from David Tennant, who imbues Alexander 'Sasha' Litvinenko with no small amount of dignity. Go to Full Review Brianna Martinez Tell-Tale TV 12/19/2022
3.5/5
Litvinenko manages to walk a fine line, respecting the humanity of the man murdered at the center of this story and the mystery thriller aspect. Go to Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk 12/17/2022
