John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/29/2022
It's entertaining, and disturbing, and it blends in ordinary street footage from the time so that the era comes alive. But it's also so improbable that you may find yourself rolling your eyes. Go to Full Review Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal 04/28/2022
The series’ powers profit immensely from its treasure of period detail. Go to Full Review Ed Cumming Independent (UK) 11/05/2021
4/5
There's a lingering glamour to all this, but it also feels like a fresh perspective on familiar times. Go to Full Review Caitlin Wyneken Tell-Tale TV 05/02/2022
4.25/5
Bolstered by strong writing and acting, Ridley Road should satisfy fans of both historical drama and Jo Bloom’s original novel. It’s also a hauntingly relevant story today, and one that feels important to bring to a television audience. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider 04/29/2022
As melodrama it’s enjoyable, though ultimately a too-predictable escapade in the ongoing fight between good and evil. Go to Full Review Whitney Friedlander Paste Magazine 04/28/2022
7.8/10
