“The documentary takes us back to a very dark place, but is also a testament to kindness and courage”
“Often Netflix documentaries feel aimed for an international audience, but this felt true to the heightened experiences of all Londoners: the sheer confusion, screams, dust and wretched smoke from those directly affected alongside everybody’s real fears of another attack.”
Ben Dowell, The Times
“Netflix is not always known for its restraint in the documentary genre, but with its outstanding recent film Grenfell: Uncovered, and now Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers, it appears to be finding a new maturity and seriousness in the field.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian
“The programme will add little to your understanding if you watched other documentaries about the bombing but it is aimed at an international audience for whom this will be a first in-depth look. The documentary takes us back to a very dark place, but is also a testament to kindness and courage.”

“It has been a while since we had a good, honest point-and-boke documentary, is it not? ‘Boke’, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, means to be sick. I use it here because the onomatopoeia gives a better sense of the fight that precedes the act, especially if – say – a programme is unspooling in front of you that keeps the nausea building until you are past the point of no return. Viewer discretion – and a plastic bowl – is advised.”
