Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Jan 20
3/5
This BBC series is the kind of thriller in which it’s increasingly obvious where the risk lays, but the enjoyment is in watching – perhaps ghoulishly – the characters move inexorably towards their worrying fate. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Sep 19
4/5
Myles and Creevy sparkle as two women in an unhealthily intense relationship, their performances making you feel the claustrophobia. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) Sep 8
4/5
The writing will reel you in, and the two lead actresses are perfectly cast. Creevy’s natural performance keeps things grounded and prevents the story from becoming too silly. Go to Full Review Tilly Pearce iNews.co.uk Nov 16
4/5
In the blink of an eye, this slowburn drama switches into the psychological thriller we were promised from the outset, putting wheels in motion for the three episodes to come. The Guest is a series I am more than happy to welcome into my living room. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Oct 13
5/5

Heather S. @Salillas Dec 1 Really enjoyed the show. Binged it in one day. See more Edward L @Glyndower Sep 15 Utter garbage. Myles gives her usual gap-toothed performance and Creevey is just dull. Don't waste your time. See more Agatha M @Aggers Sep 14 Utter tosh. The plot makes no sense. ChatGPT would’ve written a better story. See more Read all reviews
