Camilla Long The Times (UK) 06/27/2023
This show took a gripping, incomparably weird story, and boiled it down into some ho-hum, PPE-strewn camp procedural, utterly wasting the talents of many multiple Bafta-winning cast members. Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) 12/19/2022
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
Despite several references to the unprecedented nature of this murder, the series frustratingly plays out like any other pedestrian procedural. 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
