Scott Glenn has quietly been doing great work for the past two seasons in a relatively minor role, and given his own belated showcase, he doesn't squander it. Go to Full Review Jacob Stolworthy Independent (UK) 05/02/2017

Mimi Leder's direction is gorgeous and the story is always intriguing even when it's opaque. Go to Full Review Shabnaj Chowdhury Tell-Tale TV 06/15/2018
