Dan Einav Financial Times May 9
4/5
The series at once engrosses and enrages as it builds to the fatal incident, pulling focus along the way to the numerous instances of haste and hesitation that result in the killing of an innocent civilian. Go to Full Review James Jackson The Times (UK) May 3
4/5
Each side of the story is told with grim efficiency, and at the centre, the moment of de Menezes’s execution, is a real jolt of shocking brutality. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman May 1
I don’t know if the cast were motivated by any cause, but the result, generous and committed, not only pays tribute to De Menezes, and the shameful circumstances of his death; this is also “J’accuse”, on a scale both subtle and grand. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Jun 20
Hill already had strong credentials in unctuousness... But here he ups the ante, delivering a dissection upper class arsery so shamelessly self-serving that I found myself roaring with laughter. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) May 2
Pope, the writer of Philomena and Little Boy Blue, has a real talent for combining the personal and political. Yet after four hours, I felt I knew little to nothing about Mr Menezes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

David B May 29 Phenomenal, gut wrenching and frustrating to watch. Invokes a visceral feeling and so much empathy for the true life tragedy this depicts. See more Michael D May 17 The first half of the series lacks something and contrasts with the emotions invoked in the final two episodes. Visually, the series also feels a bit rough overall.
