Mrs Wilson: Season 1

"It may be inspired by real events, but we are strongly advised to take nowt for gospel."

"A compellingly sinister howdunnit."

"Ruth Wilson is quite compelling."

"This complex blend of deception and romance proved to be even better than hoped."

"The great pleasure of Mrs. Wilson is that we're as surprised as Alison by each new revelation."

"All kinds of addictive."

"If you're looking for a masterful, five-stages-of-grief kind of reactor, Ruth Wilson... is your woman."

"A spy story with a very particular kind of disturbing power."

"Anna Symon's compelling script adroitly structures Alison's investigation."

"An interrogation of history, a feminist critique of mid-20th-century British society, a mystery and, least satisfyingly, a character study."

"A ripping adventure full of mystery, romance, danger, and travel to foreign lands."

"The close-to-the-bone performances keep a person locked in."

"Intriguing."

"Mrs. Wilson is a low-key mystery, though the story's many layers are exceptional."

"It's beautifully made but three episodes seems too long a stretch for this sad little story."

"Rationing out its details slowly along a chain of new revelations... the programme is allowed to gather in fetching period detail."
