	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Dramatically robust, commandingly acted (...) There's an impressive confidence to the storytelling that will grab viewers with a taste for sophisticated horror."
		Maureen Ryan Variety	"'The Terror', a handsome and well-acted period drama about polar explorers, is fine as far as it goes. But be forewarned: It does not go very far."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] beautifully captures every form of fear in one bone-chilling tale (...) 'The Terror' is many things, all of them great — in size, scope, or both."
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"In the first 15 minutes of 'The Terror', there’s enough menacing grisliness to suggest that a 10-part story won’t feel like a snooze (...) Hinds is a compellingly tragic figure (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"'The Terror' can be scary, but it’s real achievement is climatological. The freeze is tangible. When you watch it, wear a sweater."
		Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"The only dread you may experience watching 'The Terror' is that feeling you are wasting your time."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It is a show that builds up steam around the fourth episode. The question is if audiences will be patient enough with it to make it that far."
		Louie Fecou Ready Steady Cut	"Like a frozen Twin Peaks, with decaying infected carcasses, this gripping survivalist thriller is a must-see."
		Haleigh Foutch Collider	"One of the scariest shows in years (...) If you've been waiting for the latest piece of genre obsession by way of prestige TV, get ready for 'The Terror.'"
