The Series. Reviews
“Warning: You may have to put a pillow on the ground because a number of the episodes’ closing scenes may have your jaw hit the ground. Archive 81 is that WTF series we’ve been waiting for (…) Rating: ???? (out of 5)” M.N. Miller: Ready Steady Cut
- “‘Archive 81’ has a powerful belief in its ability to entertain that — at times — has the power to push back inconsistencies and inanities. More frequently, though, audiences will likely be left cold and a little bored” Daniel D’Addario: Variety
“[It] could be viewed as a love letter to the genre. In execution, though, Archive 81 somewhat lacks a prevailing identity of its own, even as it masters slow-burning dread.” Roxana Hadadi: Vulture
