What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Alice Englert and Nicholas Denton make for a convincingly dangerous duo, this prequel to the esteemed novel feels too calculated to stir up a ton of heat.

3/5
While the story views the pre-revolutionary Parisian society as toxic and condemns the disparity between the genders, little feels truly at stake despite the breathless machinations. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry CNN.com 11/07/2022
Anyone with a fondness for the movies, there’s a pallid quality to this rendition, less in the steaminess of the situations than the prolonged way they’re structured. Go to Full Review
Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter 11/07/2022
With paper-thin characters and a narrative that prioritizes momentum over emotional depth, its confectionary delights dissolve as quickly as sugar on the tongue. Go to Full Review
Erin Maxwell LA Weekly/Village Voice 12/24/2022
At the time it was published, Les Liaisons Dangereuses was a scathing look at high society, but in this day and age, it plays as yet another Starz bodice ripper with one hell of a production budget. Go to Full Review

Englert is a particular revelation, outwardly projecting her scheming in a way that always allows the audience to always know what she’s thinking. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 11/08/2022
It’s hard to create a new story for 230-year-old characters and make it seem like it was part of those characters’ stories the whole time. But Harriet Warner and her staff have been able to do that with Dangerous Liaisons. Go to Full Review

Veronika K 01/17/2023 Tepid. I've read the book and of course, seen the movie with Glenn Close, Michelle, John and Uma. Oh and Keanu too. I loved the movie. I don't love the series. The entire series rests on the passion between Camille and Valmont. But there is none. So its kinda hard to find your stake here. See more Rachel S @RachelEmaly 12/21/2022 I love love love this show! Was hesitant to try this show but once I began the first episode- I was hooked. Right from the start. I love the complexity of the characters & I am Enthralled by the way the story unfolds - bit by bit- with enough ambiguity to keep you guessing about what is real & what is part of the game. The Romance is legit & I am here for it!!! It is easy to get caught up in the scandals, the scheming, the deception, & the debauchery!! But just as easily, you can get lost in the passion & the romance- & the moments of deep devotion & unyielding desire that the couple clearly feel for one another. Basically, … It is entertaining as hell. And fun to watch!! Also want to mention: The acting is soo good!! Truly! The 2 leads are amazing. See more amanda d 11/23/2022 I'm three episodes in and hooked! Love this world and finding this origins story extremely addictive. I mean we know where it ends and boy this introduction to who these characters were and how they became they people we know is both clever and very watchable. See more Ash @Ashley190 11/14/2022 I know this hasn't gotten the best reviews so far but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Solid acting, visually beautiful, great score and the writing is pretty good. I LOVE a good historical drama. Pretty invested! See more mitchell f 11/11/2022 Eh, I tried to think about what I took from the first episode that I watched last night. It was 12 hours ago and I forgot what I watched. I guess that tells you all that you need to know. See more Arianna C @Ariachiang 11/08/2022 It's different than I image and not a adaptation. (maybe inspire is more appropriate?) Through it did has gorgeous scenes to show the France in pre-revolution, but certainly not the true/original Les Liaisons Dangereuses. See more Read all reviews
