I was never really convinced that this marriage was such a failure. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Oct 19, 2026
As a diversion, War is perfectly obliging, but it lacks the oomph a series with this much talent and gloss should have. Go to Full Review 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 KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Oct 21, 2026
4.5/5
Classic premise, but solid writing keeps this cat and mouse double agenda on our toes. It’s refreshing wanting one side to win but also enjoying the see-saw repartee. Go to Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast Oct 21, 2026
4.5/5
Delightful performances and sharp writing bring War to life, with intriguing characters and just the right amount messiness to keep you hooked. A deliciously entertaining watch. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator Oct 15, 2026
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 Read all reviews

Ivan F @Neogrey 23 hrs ago It started out somewhat interesting, but then it quickly got boring and dull. I have never understood why anyone on this planet would think Sienna Miller is a decent actress but now you have your proof. Do not waste your time with this. See more Erma K @Erma87 4 days ago Decent start with talented cast. See more simon M @RT91514571 5 days ago Really dull - I gave up after 2 episodes. None of the characters are particularly interesting and the plot seems wafter thin - not sure how they can drag this out for a whole season. Yes everyone’s good in it but I’m not watching a show just for good acting - that should be a given. Also not sure why it’s had good reviews See more Katherine V @KittKat 5 days ago Well worth the watch Clever story line Great acting See more Dave L @Dodgers66 Oct 23, 2026 Could be better. The premise is interesting, but there’s not enough strategy or explanation of family law. The character development is shallow and there’s no protagonist. See more Melinda H @Mel656788 Oct 21, 2026 It’s good, nothing amazing yet but it feels like it will be a good show and there’s not many good shows out right now. See more Read all reviews
