Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 1d
3/5
The author has written the TV adaptation himself, so the result is true to his vision and will satisfy fans, particularly those dismayed by the 2017 Michael Fassbender film version that bombed at the box office. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper RogerEbert.com 1d
If it continues (there’s certainly a wealth of material to be mined from the novels), it could upgrade from good to great if it goes a bit leaner, a bit more focused. Go to Full Review M.N. Miller FandomWire 1d
8/10

4/5
Everything from the casting to that delicious Nordic Noir vibe makes this Netflix production a gorgeous viewing experience. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 2d
4/5
This is an altogether tastier kettle of pickled herring than the film. It puts the character – a brilliant, driven, temperamental, introverted loner who struggles with alcoholism and depression – back on the right track. Go to Full Review Dhruv Sharma Screen Rant 3d
6/10
