Variety
Variety"There's nothing wrong with the type of movie "Special Correspondents" wants to be. The problem is that Mr. Gervais doesn't appear capable of making a good version of it."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Could have been played by anyone, written by anyone; it's not a very interesting vehicle for the distinctive one-off talent that is Gervais."

The Guardian
The Guardian"If it's actually disappointing, rather than merely just OK, it's that one (still) expects more from the co-creator of The Office."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Dubious, unfunny, protracted wish-fulfilment. Quite, quite awful."
—
Little White Lies
Little White Lies"Netflix's ill-conceived satire marks a career low for writer-director-star Ricky Gervais."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"If Special Correspondents has one prominent problem - aside from running out of gas before the finish line - it is that no one player in the cast is prepared to step up and dominate when needed."
