Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) It’s a canny mix of criminal aspiration, period glamour, and maternal resilience, so that risk and reward become dangerously intertwined in Turner’s compelling performance. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Camilla Long Times (UK) I found the programme glassy, clichéd and slow. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) The 1980s London setting is great fun; both the production and costume design are superb, as is the ’80s hit-laden soundtrack. Rated: 4/5 Oct 3, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Joan is an example of a show that rides on the lead performance, where Sophie Turner effectively shows Joan Hannington’s transformation from struggling working-class mother to one of Britain’s most notorious jewel thieves. Dec 21, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Played by Sophie Turner, Joan was portrayed in a mostly positive way, her troubled past largely hinted at... At other times the script had all the depth and subtlety of a pop video. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Turner appears to relish this juicy role that offers a variety of personas to play while she must remain Joan at the core. Clever, fun, and thrilling, an exceptional woman who does things her way, damn the dissenters. Rated: 4/4 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jen E A very good performance from Sophie T Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Debbra W Sophie Turner shined, I feel it dealt with the different facets of escapism, desperation, trauma and oppression well. It is a cut above a lot of tv out there! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review GT M One of the best dramas I’ve seen for a while, great story line and superb acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Michael P Slow and predictable. If you have nothing better to do. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Chris S Love it so far! Only 3 episodes have aired, but I binged them in one night and now I am mad at myself that I didnt wait until they all aired before I started to watch it since I have a feeling this is one of those shows where you cant help but binge it in one night. I will try to control myself and not watch the last 3 until it has aired. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Dave C This should be 5*, but the writing beats itself down with too many poor assumptions that make events and decisions feel less impactful as a result. That said, this is a great telling of a story laden with deception, intrigue, and desire. The performances are brilliant, and the story is a good one. One of the better ITV dramas in a long time Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
