Reception
Michael Sun of The Guardian gave it 3 stars out of 5, stating "one wishes In Our Blood leaned harder into its bizarro world and lived up to the sheer campiness of its premise. For a series about misbehaving queers, it’s awfully restrained"[4] The Queer Review's Chad Armstrong gave it 3 out of stars, saying "While the series is hit and miss, there are some brilliant moments and things definitely improve in the second half under director Nicholas Verso, who gets the balance between genuine human emotion and stylized visuals right".[5] David Knox of TV Tonight rated the series 4.5 out of 5 stars, saying "Ingeniously, the narrative weaves in a Greek Chorus of chameleon performers (Adriano Cappalletta, Nic Prior, Tomas Parrish, Alice Birbarra), who break the fourth wall imparting necessary history points to the viewer and, joyously, bursting into song. The weaving of these ’80s hits juxtaposed against the politics is one of the drama’s many pleasures".[6]
