Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 01/07/2020
What's undeniable is that for every scene or concept where The Commons falls short, another one feels like it's plugged into a decade that has begun with flames so fierce that they appeared apocalyptic. Timeliness alone gives it a charge. Go to Full Review Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 01/02/2020
An intriguing and disturbing dystopian vision. Go to Full Review Michael Idato Sydney Morning Herald 12/30/2019
The story unfurls calmly, almost clinically, but smartly stays tight on the human notes without losing its way in the political and social themes. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 12/11/2020
Boasts fine performances from Froggatt and Lyons and a scarily prescient view of our near future that will make you feel a bit squirrely while watching it. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 12/04/2020
Compelling and timely, and a cautionary tale that is probably too late anyway. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
