Critic Consensus: Gunpowder's bulky narrative provides few new historical insights, but its engaging leads and visceral violence may be enough to leave viewers remembering the fifth of November anyway.

A gluepot of a miniseries with good actors and no pulse.
This depiction of history from the perspective of the powerless fails to spark.
Given its dramatic subject matter, strong performances, and handsome production values, this series should satisfy anyone with a love for British historical drama. It's thoughtful and well-made.
Nasty, visceral and gutsy, as, I'm so sorry to say, is history, and truth.
Compelling historical drama has brutal violence, nudity.
For those with only a passing familiarity with the attempted regicide of the Gunpowder Plot, HBO's new miniseries is an engaging, occasionally thrilling primer.
