"Britannia can't seem to decide whether it's trying to be deathly serious or played for laughs."

—

Empire Magazine

"The female characters are fantastically strong..."

—

Financial Times

"It definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it is a bit of a riot."

—

The Times

"Seriously, this series - whose creators include Jez Butterworth, a co-screenwriter of the Whitey Bulger drama "Black Mass" - is a fabulous, stupid mess."

—

Boston Globe

"Several of the characters and performers make their presence felt early on - most entertainingly, Nikolaj Lie Kaas."

—

Wall Street Journal

"In episode 1 at least, Britannia struggles to prove itself to the American company it keeps on Sky Atlantic."

—

Independent

"Wild and sharp and terrific. And did I mention loopy?"

—

The Guardian

"The Britannia cast plays it terribly straight for the most part, and fortunately that doesn't get in the way of its bizarre swagger."

—

Salon

"What's fun so far is the way a nonchalant 21st-century sensibility is teleported back to 43 AD."

—

Daily Telegraph

"The acting, directing, scripting are all fine, sometimes they are very good, but the show has yet to really take off, although the potential is there."
