Not a Must Watch
Every single time that something happened, I was thinking to myself, Well, this train has still got another five hours to go and there's five more episodes, so it's probably going to be ok. Go to Full Review Keith Watson Daily Telegraph (UK) 09/26/2024
3/5
Nightsleeper is built for binge-watching, its cliffhanger moments the TV equivalent of rubber-necking: you know you should look away but you really can’t. Suspend your disbelief and go along for the ride. Go to Full Review Camilla Long The Times (UK) 09/25/2024
I found Nightsleeper entertaining solely in a “this is awful” way. Go to Full Review Pat Stacey Irish Independent 10/24/2024
Within the first 15 minutes, the twists, turns and reversals are already piling up and they just keep on coming, leaving you wondering which characters to trust. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 10/09/2024
A heady cross between The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3, Unstoppable and Idris Elba thriller Hijack, this Nick Leather-penned tale certainly can’t be accused of being boring. Part of Nightsleeper’s joy is that it all might go off the rails at any second. Go to Full Review David Hepburn Scotsman 10/02/2024
It just about stays on track though, with sleight of hand and misdirection feeding a growing sense of paranoia where everybody starts to look suspicious. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Who K Sep 15 The cast pretty much carry the series I think if the script had been better written the show could of better . The ending is plain stupid and there a lot better thrillers set in one place I rather watch then this See more Sophie M Mar 31 Absolutly loved it, edge of your seat stuff!! See more Tehaunui S Jan 2 I admire the woman character, standing at the train station, filming every new messages displayed every hour or so throughout the entire TV series. Awful script. See more Colin B Dec 24 I’m struggling to find anything good to say about this series. The plot, acting, characters, script are all execrable. Totally unconvincing. See more Snacky S 12/14/2024 It's not high art but it is pretty gripping See more Jeremy H 12/09/2024 Fabulous edge of your seat entertainment. Top class suspense See more Read all reviews
