	Media	Author	Review
		Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] has plenty of small-town British charm to spare (...) It helps, too, that 'Truth Seekers' takes care to create a memorable ensemble of characters who make sure the stories stay relatively grounded"
		Brian Tallerico The Playlist	"Nick Frost & Simon Pegg can’t find a way to make their supernatural Amazon series entertaining"
		Ian Freer Empire	"A horror-humour hybrid that feels familiar, but 'Truth Seekers' wins out on affable leads, some sharp gags and a profound love for the genre it’s parodying (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Truth Seekers' isn't very scary (...) but it's got some solid, sustained spookiness and some effective comic misdirections"
		Anthony O'Connor FilmInk	"A slight and only sporadically amusing effort that lacks the panache and wit of previous pairings of Pegg and Frost"
		Thomas Ling Radio Times	"[It] is heavy on horror but terrifyingly light on laughs (...) It’s difficult to actually care about any of the characters. And that makes the show’s (many) attempts at emotional moments fall short (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting	"It’s not the best show of the year, but it’s the perfect, lighthearted horror distraction for the Halloween season (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"Sometimes the jokes here just aren't funny and the scares not scary enough. When this series works, it works, but it is far too sporadic considering the talent involved."
