Camilla Long The Times (UK) 09/18/2019
Temple is a clever little piece of programming. Go to Full Review Alastair McKay London Evening Standard 09/18/2019
[Temple] feels, at times, like early Tarantino, with dodgy coppers and incompetent criminals, as [Mark] Strong holds the thing together with his glower. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 03/19/2020
The show isn't interesting enough to get past its glaring flaws. Go to Full Review John Boland Irish Independent 09/23/2019
Maybe it will all get more believable as it goes along, but that was what I also thought about the first episode of Valkyrien and then I forgot about it entirely. Go to Full Review Malcolm Hopwood The Post NZ 09/19/2019
[Mark] Strong shows strength in the role, but it's the storyline that's intriguing. Go to Full Review Brian Donaldson The List 09/17/2019
3/5
Temple's secret is slowly unveiled at the end of a fine opening episode in which three seemingly disparate stories merge and flow forward in one direction. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Adele N @RT30681322 06/05/2025 I enjoyed this from the very beginning to the end , I pretty much binged on the 2 seasons over 3 evenings . Lots of suspension and plot twists , Loved it ! See more Mike O @AntiAi 02/15/2025 Complete waste of some great actors. You cannot get away from the absurdity of the original premise. I am all for suspension of disbelief, but really? See more Nuala M @RT50438104 12/01/2024 Asides from the darkness and complex story line, I thought it was very humorous in parts. On last series episode 6 and would have loved for more criminal surgery story lines! See more Dave C @RT09838700 11/22/2024 Ludicrous, but well acted, and intriguing enough to keep you glued even through the truly absurd moments. It could be a darker, more brooding story, but the drama and thrills never quite reach those levels See more Steve W @RT82955311 11/19/2024 Lots of interweaving storylines suggest complexity but are actually trying to disguise the implausibility of this whole series.As a surgeon Mark Strong's character would understand why his wife can't be given an untested drug - and he does not give the impression of a man who could set up an illicit operating theatre in a Tube station in order to solve the problem. See more Darryl S @RT96710228 11/17/2024 Mark Strong is a top, award winning surgeon, but he stumbles through this like a zombie. I have never seen a supposedly smart person make so many stupid uneducated decisions. I liked the idea, but too much is ludicrous or makes no sense. See more Read all reviews
