Rebecca Nicholson Guardian The performances are predictably strong, but it lacks the heft you might expect from a such a heavyweight cast, and from a series that follows the excellent A Very English Scandal and A Very British Scandal. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg Hollywood Reporter For two hours, A Very Royal Scandal is tightly cut and smartly observed and strategized without being revelatory, despite Maitlis’ direct involvement. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal For all the brilliance of Jeremy Brock’s screenplay and its dissection of Andrew’s disastrous performance, much of the power of this three-part series is visual. It may be a topical docudrama that scours royalty and media. But it is also cinema. Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider A Very Royal Scandal takes an event from the very recent past and gives it some fascinating context, aided by good performances from Sheen, Wilson and Scanlan. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Lily Moayeri Under the Radar Obviously, this event played out in the media and the details are a web search away. But the well-paced narrative, and Sheen’s and Wilson’s crafted performances refresh this admittedly abhorrent story. Rated: 7/10 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com A Very Royal Scandal is a fun time that is dramatic, sometimes emotional and thoroughly well acted. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Louis M Despite Ruth Wilson's standout, spot-on portrayal of Emily Maitlis, this production adds little to an already overly dissected topic. While the subject matter is undeniably serious, the show hesitates to explore any fresh or deeper perspectives, staying firmly within the bounds of what's already well-known and well-trodden. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
