Black Snow impressed critics following its release, earning it an impressive 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
"Come for Australia's latest must-stream crime drama, and the first of 2023, then, but stay for a show that embraces and interrogates much more than its recognisable basic setup typically indicates," Concrete Playground wrote in their review of season one.
"It could have been a disaster, but it isn’t. It’s a real breath of fresh air," said The Age, while Flicks wrote: "This is a moody, well-made crime drama that forefronts a little-explored area of Australian culture and history, and so definitely worth adding to your queue."
Black Snow seasons 1-2 are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
