Carol Midgley · The Times 80.00/100.00

This series is terrific and on occasion magnificent. Its ability to tell a sprawling, epic story over three timelines in five shortish episodes (admirable in the era of the 14-parter) and tell us something new about a war is commendable.

Snooze fest and graphic where it doesn't need to be. The violence I get, the sex part seems misplaced

Margaret Lyons · The New York Times 80.00/100.00

There’s a visceral quality to most scenes — the clammy humidity, the golden warmth of a sandy beach, the icy sterility of a gray office — as the show teases out the pains and pleasures of the body along with its grander ideas about the mind, the heart, the world, war. “Narrow” is patient, but it isn’t slow.
