One person writes: “An amazing series. At the end of every episode, you just wanna see what comes next. It’s been a long time since I watched anything that good.”
“The cast, the music, the writing, everything was perfect. It was compelling from the first episode and carried the same feeling until the very end,” another user emphasizes.
“Absolute masterpiece of a show. The latest episode is up there with the best TV I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see how it ends and what’s in store for season two,” a third expresses.
Critics also praise the show for its suspenseful storyline:
James Dyer reviewed for Empire Magazine: “A moreish if preposterous murder-mystery wrapped up in a swing-for-the-fences premise. If you think you know what to expect going in, think twice.”
JoBlo’s Movie Network‘s Alex Maidy shared: “It’s one of the most intriguing series of the decade, with a great cast that could kickstart a new wave of brilliant serial dramas. Whatever you do, avoid spoilers.”
“As both a sociopolitical thriller and an exhumation of the human condition, and among all the other series vying for audiences’ attention in the new year, it’s well worth your time,” Kelcie Mattson wrote for Collider.
The success of the show is evident in its ratings, which are a solid 83% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8/10 on IMDB.
While, season one has ended, there is still good news for fans. The show creator, Fogelman has confirmed to Deadline that the next season is well underway: “Scripts are written. We go into production in four weeks.”
“We’re ready to go right now and hoping to get this show back on TV in a normal span of time, hopefully the same time as it came out this past year, as opposed to waiting multiple years. So if we came out in early 2025, hopefully, the next season’s out by early 2026.”
