A sheltered girl with telekinetic powers is bullied, leading to a horrific, bloody incident due to her domineering mother's influence.

Critics Consensus

Mike Flanagan aptly expands this teen mythos with added compassion and ingenuity, bringing a modern touch to a timeless work and giving all performers involved the opportunity to shine while witnessing the ascension of a fascinatingly new Carrie.

A great example of using character to deepen and modernize what Stephen King was doing in his original novel.

Flanagan and company bring their A-game to all aspects of this reimagining. The contemporization experiment for Carrie White’s story is a resounding success backed up by a banger soundtrack and sufficient teen angst.

2.5/5

This new adaptation saves its most radical departures for last, setting up a bizarre continuation not fully earned by the eight-ep first season.

3/5

Think Netflix’s Adolescence with a supernatural spin and it works surprisingly well. By centering Facebook over faith, though, the story loses its originality and bite.

An amalgam of staples from the book, translated into spectacular set pieces, and imaginative visions filling in the blanks, Carrie is carried by engrossing performances [...] but struggles to control its power in a bid to over-explain and over-expand.

4/5

Flanagan crafts the definitive coming-of-age high school drama for young adults with Carrie. This is Carrie by way of Euphoria and The X-Files, but in the best way possible.
