	Media	Author	Review
		Rory Doherty Paste Magazine	[It] is a vibrant and stylized greatest hits oeuvre for Nicholas Winding Refn"
		Marshall Shaffer Decider	"'Copenhagen Cowboy' proves so bludgeoning the eyes and ears, especially if consumed as a binge, that it can dull the senses altogether. This may excite existing Refn fans, but it's unlikely to attract any new converts"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"This entire project plays with a lot of interesting elements but has so little fun doing so (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"A series that's too slow to divulge any fresh ideas (...) A season may be part of a larger series, but it can still stand on its own. 'Copenhagen Cowboy' can't, and it likely won't grow any larger because of it"
		Rafaela Sales Ross The Playlist	"By episode three, this exercise in self-indulgence is clear in its purpose of serving its creator at the cost of the narrative itself, a much more forgivable sin when constrained to a tight two hours."
		Lynn Henson USA Today	"Refn spreads his sensory overload and gives all the brooding and cheekiness plenty of room to breathe. It can be repetitive, yes, but never monotonous."
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Stylish as hell, but at the expense of the storyline (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Keith Watson Metro	"A severe test of patience (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"A plot [that is] engrossing on paper and near-interminable in practice (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"A haunting and humorous journey (...) A collage of the beauty and brutality of a dreamlike world, this show is one of Refn's most oddly entrancing to date"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"Moment to moment, it offers plenty of pleasures (...) Added together, though, they amount to a greatest-hits compilation of Refn’s earlier works, rather than a singular statement in its own right"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"Nicolas Winding Refn has become a director who thinks he is a brilliant auteur. Instead, he is reliant on recycling the few ideas that led people to consider him a genius"
		Austen Goslin Polygon	"[It] has all his trademark stillness, his ultra violence, and his neon-drenched sets. It also has the most interesting world his work has ever included. It’s just a shame the show doesn’t show it off"
		Jasper Rees Telegraph	"Nicolas Winding Refn's supernatural noir has a hypnotic central performance but will leave many viewers utterly baffled (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Strange, macabre, and striking, it's worth watching 'Copenhagen Cowboy' because of how unlike anything else it is (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Muriel Del Don Cineuropa	"Refn explodes the myth of violence as a male prerogative, proving just how universal violence and the desire for revenge truly are"
