The Luminaries • Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
The MacGuffin
Sarah Ksiazek
The Luminaries is worth your time on a lazy Sunday, but maybe not for an exciting Friday night binge.
Common Sense Media
Marina Gordon
Supernatural drama has murder, sex work, opium, alcohol.
The Spool
Megan Sunday
All told, The Luminaries is a beautifully acted, good-looking, and unfortunately forgettable adventure.
IndieWire
Ann Donahue
In this scattershot adaptation, all you can see is an eclipse of something that's probably quite beautiful when it is full.
Paste Magazine
Allison Keene
The twists and turns of The Luminaries are mild, and despite a textbook-level satisfactory conclusion to these many narrative threads, the emotions never quite come through.
CBR
Cynthia Vinney
While the show's murder mystery is gussied up with mystical mumbo jumbo and a complicated presentation, these things amount to very little, ultimately resulting in an exasperating and uneven viewing experience.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Dominic Patten
For its literary heritage and cast alone, the series is definitely worth checking out, but make sure you tape it so you can hit the rewind button often to figure out what the hell is going on.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
The plot's lack of confidence notwithstanding, for some people Green's presence may provide enough reason to drift along from one beautiful sight to the next, unconcerned as to where it's all leading.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
It's remarkable that the miniseries, which distills a novel of more than 800 pages to just six hours of screen time, retains such thematic depth.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
The show has a certain rigid clumsiness in taking on complicated source material that does not serve it well. Despite engaging lead performances and attention to visual detail, The Luminaries never lights up.
Decider
Joel Keller
The three leads, Patel, Hewson and Green, all do good jobs with their roles, but the show just feels like it's going to wander in the wilderness like the delirious Anna before it figures out where to go.
Entertainment Voice
Alci Rengifo
As Peak TV "The Luminaries," which first aired on the BBC in 2020, is gorgeously envisioned.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
The performances are mostly terrific - especially Hewson, who succeeds in creating a compelling character out of a woman whose motivations are never completely clear.
