J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail For those still itching for more Mare of Easttown, try this twist-filled Australian miniseries -- which scratches the right spot, or the general vicinity anyway. Jun 20, 2025 Full Review Kylie Northover The Age (Australia) It’s not the most gripping entrant in this genre – not helped by the fact that its small-town-big-secrets premise has become ubiquitous – but some powerful acting and an unexpected twist help maintain interest in where this six-part series is heading. Rated: 3/5 Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian The Survivors is a study in how raw grief and festering resentment warp everything -- and how surviving a tragedy rarely means getting away unscathed. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media The pace might be slow, but the storytelling in this mystery is extremely efficient. Jun 30, 2025 Full Review Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post With strong direction, atmospheric storytelling, and a cast that breathes life into every wounded character, The Survivors is a slow-burning, emotionally resonant whodunit that is well worth your time. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community As a work of crime fiction, The Survivor is fantastic, but as a drama, it gets caught in its own web one too many times to be perfect. Still, this Australian Netflix series is one to add to your watchlist. Rated: 7.5/10 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Excellently written, every character acts natural and logically. Everyone's motivations and reasoning is realistic, there was never a moment where I felt like a character did something stupid just to develop the plot. Very good actors too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review WSX7 D Loved LOVED this show. Riveting. Binged. Binged. BINGED!! Love shows where I can't figure out who-done-it at the beginning of the storytelling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Andrei D It thinks it's much smarter and better acted than it actually is Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Sherie C Acting was great. Storyline was slow and complicated. And didn't always mesh. Especially George. He was a distraction. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Gretchen B It's just so sloooooow. All the grief and accusations and assumptions. Honestly no likable characters. I really tried to watch it bc the reviews were so favorable. Got through 2 episodes and bailed midway through the 3rd. Disappointing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Elisha I A haunting and beautifully crafted limited series that blends mystery with deep emotional storytelling. The atmosphere is gripping, and the pacing keeps the tension simmering throughout. Strong performances and a layered plot make it more than just a whodunit — it’s a powerful look at guilt, grief, and the past’s hold on the present. Thoughtful, suspenseful, and hard to stop thinking about after it ends. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
