The Copenhagen Test currently has a 75% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Looper gave it a 5 of 10, saying: “A run-of-the-mill espionage series.”

FandomWire gave it 7 out of 10, writing: “Peacock’s The Copenhagen Test is SpyFy-light, sleek and fun, favoring paranoia over rigor. Simu Liu anchors the series with a commanding, textured turn. Take the test, pass or fail, and enjoy the ride.”

Collider gave it an 8 out of 10, writing: “Altogether, The Copenhagen Test is a thrilling series that seeds just enough of a sci-fi element throughout for something truly fresh in the spy genre.”

The AU Review gave it 3.5 out of 5, writing: “It favours tension over easy thrills, turning surveillance inwards and proving both easily digestible from a genre point of view and eerily relevant in the current media landscape.”

AV Club says: “At a time when some compelling spy dramas populate TV, including Slow Horses and The Agency, the big swings of The Copenhagen Test mostly fail.” ”

Variety says: “Ultimately, the Peacock show may have a stellar cast and a solid concept, but the execution falls flat. The pacing is overlong, removing much of the tension and excitement that make thrillers so fascinating to watch.”

CBR says: “As audiences begin to connect the dots, it soon becomes apparent just how sophisticated this Peacock original has been all along, creating red herrings, manipulating perspective, and laying down foundations for a finale that really sticks the landing.”
