Benedict Cumberbatch man… Benedict Cumberbatch is something else. He truly blew me away.

@Gigi_Said_That

The emotional trenches were plentiful. The middle was mentally exhausting. Poor “8” that was a graphic and tragic ending. Meanwhile Edgar is unscathed and eating french toast at a diner. Great acting..oddly enough points on realism.

It's ok.. didn't believe the relationship with son.. the kid was not a great actor.. chemistry was not there.. 7 out of 10

I was so impressed with this series. Came out of nowhere, didn't know what to expect, but wow, what a performance from Cumberbatch. It's almost as if Eric represents Vincent's inner-demon, which is interesting because as his son's creation, it's also likely the way he saw his father. I hope Cumberbatch gets nominated for this.

@verar5844

This is the ultimate in diversity and inclusion. There are no humans there, no unique characters that make the story interesting. Actually, there is no story. Each character is a representative of a certain group who expresses the manifesto of that group in politically correct blurbs. Richard Dreyfuss is absolutely correct in harshly criticizing the whole stifling environment that doesn't allow any originality, anything new. Creativity is not, and could not be a politically correct thing. If everybody walks in goose step, that spells death to the art.

This show bunked. Bad acting.. eric and vincent fighting was comedy/lame😅😅

@markhernden9472

Chris really has a talent for concise and perceptive analysis and critique, while making it look easy. I would give this one four couches personally but I always look forward to Chris' thoughts and opinions.

I was expecting more and the kid looked always so clean after hell...two couches were enough. Biggest surprise was the strong performance of Mkinley Belcher III, he deserves lot more couches

@albislopez

One thing that could been better in my opinion is Eric's role through the show, instead of following Vincent telling him, "you're a bad father" it could focus on Edgar's fears, and insecurities more (since Eric is Edgar's creation after all) the only time we actually watch Edgar expressing himself is when he talks to his father about Edgar, but he didn't listen, making Vincent's guilt more impactful

@whataboutrick

Cumberbatch killed this role. Roy from the office did great as the police chief as well

@MadailinBurnhope

I was up all night watching this, it's great

@Alec_Collins78

Thanks Chris. I almost didn't watch this because I've seen other reviews and i was going to see Eric anyway, but you've moved it up my list.

For me, this led me to the documentary on KZfaq “dark days” and the book Mole People by Jennifer Toth. Fascinating.

@annaf3915

I was really drawn into the show during the first two episodes but then it became kind of all over the place and consistently depressing. This could have been a 2 hour long movie or the oppsosite, a longer series with a chance for a season 2, given the depth of the main characters and all the "side quests".
