	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s star turn on ‘Surface’ deserves a better show (...) It’s a pleasure to see this actor at the center of the frame, even if everything around her isn’t quite up to snuff"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Gugu Mbatha-Raw can be such a charismatic performer but she gets completely swallowed up by the bad writing on the latest Apple TV+ thriller"
		Emma Fraser The Playlist	"'Surface' is a slick psychological thriller that gets bogged down later in the season as it tries to sustain the myriad twists and turns"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A padded and forgettable soapy thriller."
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"'Surface' simmers for a good while, chiefly because of her performance, and then it ignites and keeps burning right through its ending, which left me shaking my head in wonder"
		James Hibbs Radio Times	"A memory loss thriller that gives serious déjà vu. Gugu Mbatha-Raw livens up proceedings but we've seen this all before (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Thelma Adams The Wrap	"A story that takes a long time over eight episodes to come to a boil"
		Joel Keller Decider	"As much as we couldn’t take our eyes off Gugu Mbatha-Raw during the first episode of 'Surface', her performance can’t save a show that doesn’t seem to have enough story to justify an 8-episode series."
		Tara Bennett IGN	"A soapy mystery that gets stronger as it goes along"
		Will Ashton Slant	"Polished and perceptive though it can often be, the series only really scratches the surface level of its own potential (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
