What Are the Critics Saying About The Exchange?
The Exchange does not yet have an official critics rating or an average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, however, does have a user score of 6.7/10 on IMDB.
Arnav Srivastava from The Review Geek writes, “The makers have done a terrific job of singularly establishing their narration in female empowerment without taking a radical approach.”
Deccan Chronicle’s Ajit Andhare says, “The well-edited six-part series is mounted on a lavish scale giving us a peek into the lifestyle of the well-heeled. The production quality is world-class. The costumes, especially of Munira and Farida are top-notch. However, all these pluses are done in by a single but major shortcoming, a weak screenplay.”
