John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/22/2021
There are plenty of cliff-hangers and twists to keep you guessing in this very solid British mystery, but the true pleasure is in watching these unremarkable women, who live humdrum lives, try to extract themselves from a very anxiety-inducing nightmare.

Engrossing stuff from Wentworth veteran Pete McTighe. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 05/25/2021
The big problem with The Pact is that the first episode was mainly rubbish, meaning that quite a few people might not have stuck around until episode two, when the show found its groove. Go to Full Review Ángel S. Harguindey El Pais (Spain) 05/31/2022
A lesser-known cast, anodyne locations, and yet, the result is beyond interesting. It's the greatness of a good script. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 07/19/2021

4/5
The second episode maintained the tension, and began to expose secrets in the women's lives. It also delivered a perfect example of how to use classic pop to heighten the emotional power of a scene. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
