Susie Goldsbrough The Times (UK) Oct 9, 2026
West (roguish and wrinkly) and Miller (sporting Rapunzel-perfect hair) barely appear on screen together for the first hour, and when they do, it’s pretty dull. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) Oct 9, 2026
4/5
They have cleverly stuffed the supporting cast with actors known for comedy who bring flourishes to the minor skirmishes. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR Oct 8, 2026
You might call it classy-trashy, embracing both its "what will these people do next?" high drama and moments of genuine humanity from West and Miller, both of whom are solid in it. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 1 day ago
Granted, dramas that allow us to simultaneously ogle at and despise rich people have become somewhere between a TV staple and a TV cliché. Nonetheless, War is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining examples since Succession. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 3 days ago
3/5
Despite boasting big-name leads, the subpar writing in this prestige drama pushes the characters toward implausible behavior almost immediately. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Oct 8, 2026
It strikes that ideal HBO balance: sharp, sophisticated, and unapologetically trashy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Wendy K @rosie737 20 hrs ago Flat characters, a silly story. What is there to like? I made it through one episode. Yawn. See more Jonathan M @Jonathan555 1 day ago Dominic West is a dull and uninteresting tech bro. Some good British actors do their thing. I'd like it better if they didn't put a mole in as a MacGuffin, and stuck with a legal drama. Reminded me of "The Verdict" with the mole, but The Verdict was a much better story. See more Summer B @summermlea 4 days ago Precisely what I want from a sexy, popcorn legal drama: a hot cast, twists as juicy as they are unrealistic, and obscene amounts of wealth. War knows what it is and delivers. See more A R @Pacific 4 days ago This show is so stupid. The premise is beyond lame and I don’t think I’ve ever seen poor acting all at once. It’s not even worth a hate watch. Nobody is believable. The fact that there is a score of over 10% tells me they paid critics. Worst show on TV right now. See more V L @victor219 5 days ago Why should we give a fig about either of these filthy rich narcissists? Both main characters are bland as hell. See more Marion B @RT69811019 5 days ago So good, loving all the plot twists. My ideal show, wish I could binge watch but I’m patiently waiting for the rest! See more Read all reviews
