Susie Goldsbrough The Times (UK) 4 days ago
West (roguish and wrinkly) and Miller (sporting Rapunzel-perfect hair) barely appear on screen together for the first hour, and when they do, it’s pretty dull. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) 4 days ago
4/5
They have cleverly stuffed the supporting cast with actors known for comedy who bring flourishes to the minor skirmishes. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 5 days ago
You might call it classy-trashy, embracing both its "what will these people do next?" high drama and moments of genuine humanity from West and Miller, both of whom are solid in it. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 6 hrs ago
3/5
Despite boasting big-name leads, the subpar writing in this prestige drama pushes the characters toward implausible behavior almost immediately. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 5 days ago
It strikes that ideal HBO balance: sharp, sophisticated, and unapologetically trashy. Go to Full Review Annaliese Todd Mamamia 5 days ago
If you're a legal-drama fan craving a series that skips the polite PR pleasantries and dives headfirst into the raw, messy reality of modern love, ego and war, this is your next mandatory watch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Summer B @summermlea 1 day ago Precisely what I want from a sexy, popcorn legal drama: a hot cast, twists as juicy as they are unrealistic, and obscene amounts of wealth. War knows what it is and delivers. See more A R @Pacific 2 days ago This show is so stupid. The premise is beyond lame and I don’t think I’ve ever seen poor acting all at once. It’s not even worth a hate watch. Nobody is believable. The fact that there is a score of over 10% tells me they paid critics. Worst show on TV right now. See more V L @victor219 2 days ago Why should we give a fig about either of these filthy rich narcissists? Both main characters are bland as hell. See more Marion B @RT69811019 3 days ago So good, loving all the plot twists. My ideal show, wish I could binge watch but I’m patiently waiting for the rest! See more David M @Woodhacker 4 days ago Watched episode 1, it kept me interested until the end. Good cast, I will watch the second episode and go from there. Entertaining so far and I like that it’s based in London and seeing all the London shots. See more Mark L @WildBill23 5 days ago Caught the first episode. Im intrigued. Has a bit of succession feel to it. Clever. Great cast. I'll be continuing on with the series. See more Read all reviews
