Mary McNamara · Los Angeles Times 80.00/100.00

Moffat and his very deep bench of talented performers create characters that defy expectation and grow in complexity with each episode.

Tirdad Derakhshani · Philadelphia Inquirer 70.00/100.00

Its few glaring missteps aside, it's a thoughtful, rewarding drama.

Dorothy Rabinowitz · Wall Street Journal 70.00/100.00

With the second and third episodes ever more predictable, and, not least, with Martha's character gone flat under the weight of a preening righteousness. If bad scriptwriting were a prosecutable offense, Ms. Peake might have a case here. Still, episode one of Silk is smartly written and highly entertaining--a treat, in short, and at two hours a sumptuous one.

Mike Hale · The New York Times 40.00/100.00

Ms. Peake is excellent as Costello, but the character, and the show, feel so rigged and inauthentic that even her skilled work can’t make the case for our sticking around.

David Wiegand · San Francisco Chronicle 75.00/100.00

The performances for the most part fill in some credibility gaps in how the characters are written.
