What begins as a tragedy becomes an increasingly dark and complex drama of grief, guilt and resentment.

What do critics say about the survivors?
Digital Mafia Talkies compared its power with that of YouthAt The drama that focuses on the misogyni leading to a teen murder. “The survivors Covers a very wide range of items ranging from bad parents to fragile masculinity. It covers the concept of “nature versus care” and tries to answer whether we become what our parents want us to be, or if it all depends on the genes we inherit and pass on … The results of these analyzes are deficient, but pointed enough to start some important conversations. “
Screenhub Australia gave the show four out of five stars, partly because the opening episode seems to go in a different direction, from where the series ends and partly because the reviewer could not find any of the characters externally sympathetic. The show “Do a solid job of creating an exciting premise. There are plenty of suspects, and a few obvious red herring that undoubtedly end up having a skeleton or two in the closet. Taken as a pure whodunnit, it ticks all boxes”. Just not the sympathetic lead.
The New York Times (Paywall) was also not immediately caught, but became very involved as the episodes progressed. “Although it covers a lot of well -known angles, the survivors surpass most of his brothers. The relationship here is knotted, the characters multidimensional in exciting, moving ways. People can be both wonderful and cruel, loving, but maybe not loving enough, loyal, but also dishonest … the show.” Shows as it goes and its plot lines like Russian dolls, giving the story a real feeling of heft and potency. “
