Susie Goldsbrough The Times (UK) 23 hrs 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

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 2 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
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 1 day ago
It strikes that ideal HBO balance: sharp, sophisticated, and unapologetically trashy. Go to Full Review
Annaliese Todd Mamamia 2 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

4/5
This is a TV drama, so we know it’s going to escalate to a big showdown. Nevertheless, as they say, it’s about the journey, not the destination. Go to Full Review

David M @Woodhacker 1 day 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 2 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 Kimberly M @Kimmy345 3 days ago This is ridiculously entertaining. The divorce, the lawyers, the money, the backstabbing - everyone is absolutely awful to each other and I’m completely here for it. See more Joyce A @RT39698764 6 days ago Incredible first episode! I’m in love with London, and it’s superbly cast. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the wider ensemble of characters across the different law firms. With such a diverse cast, I hope the series doesn’t shy away from delving deeper into their individual stories and giving each of them room to develop. The kind of TV we need at the moment — funny, dramatic, with juicy plot twists and characters you absolutely love to hate. A must-watch for those cosy autumn nights in. 🍂📺 See more Chris B @KidCrooks 6 days ago Good start so far. Really like the cast in this one, should be a treat ! See more Paul J @PaulJ4043 Oct 3, 2026 Complete garbage. If you want to create a fictional couple going through a divorce that’s fine. But don’t base the whole premise on a fantasy. The first episode has the wife seeking to invalidate their prenup based on infidelity. That’s the storyline. The problem is that in the UK infidelity isn’t the basis for anything, certainly not grounds for setting aside a prenup. Come on folks at least make the law real even if the characters aren’t.
