Critic Reviews:
- “Its honest, fearless depiction of gender relations and the terrifying and often disgusting truths of what women face every day – including a stunning analysis of rape culture – allow it to stand out from pretty much any other crime series out there.” – Decider
- "Kidman, part of the recent ensemble in HBO's Emmy-nominated Big Little Lies, is even more impressive here as the possessive, high-strung Julia while Dencik completely inhabits the role of thoroughly oily "Puss."" – Uncle Barky
- “For all of China Girl's didacticism, it has great characters, a mischievous sense of humor, grace notes.” – Slate
