Ben Whishaw is great as bitter, passionate hack Freddie, as is Romola Garai as Bel, an ambitious woman seemingly decades ahead of her own time. Both are upstaged, however, by the towering presence of Dominic West.

Strangely, it is the day-to-day newsroom politics that is currently proving enthralling on The Hour rather than the conspiracy and unsolved murders lurking in the background.

The Hour is alternately ferocious and tender, and refreshingly clear-eyed about the interactions between gender and class.

PopMatters

The series' inclination to melodrama sometimes overshadows its historical context.

A seriously engaging historical drama.

Spot-on period details and glamorous styling... It does many things exceptionally well, delivering complex characters, a well-paced story, and, of course, the aforementioned art direction.

It offers amusement and a tad of suspense, but little to ponder over the long run.

Viewers craving a satisfying gourmet meal rather than another summertime "reality" Moon Pie are urged to make The Hour a Wednesday night ritual for the next six weeks.

What it did well it did very well... But my, how it longed to be Important Television -- and whatever else it was, it wasn't quite that.

Instead of just offering a soap opera for 50s nostalgics, The Hour gives us an interesting balance between relationships and danger. The conspiracy angle is ever-present, but it's not overpowering.

Slate

A totally OK hourlong drama... The Hour comes billed as "an edge-of-your-seat spy thriller," which isn't right. It's cozier and slower and airier than that, more of an arm-of-your-sofa spy thriller.
