Ben Travers IndieWire 2d
Poor structuring, redundant plotting, zero fun, and ample bewilderment add up to quite the mess. Go to Full Review Jared Richards The Age (Australia) 4d
3/5
A little unwieldy? Sure. But it’s consistently gripping, with a budget to build out this multiverse properly and a remarkable performance(s) from Edgerton at its centre. Go to Full Review James Dyer Empire Magazine Aug 28
4/5
A thoughtful, if unexpected continuation of the story, this second season takes a bold step into the unknown, delivering something different but altogether more satisfying. Go to Full Review Patrick McDonald WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI) 16h
4/5
Season Two begins with the same pulse pounding drama that S1 had, with the stakes higher and the JASONs that much more pursuant. Joel Edgerton is a magnificent choice for all the Jason variations. W/links to two interviews w/series players. Go to Full Review Chalice Williams Geeks of Color 1d
8/10
The stakes have significantly risen since season 1, and Connelly, alongside Edgerton, are giving some of the best performances on TV at the moment. Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 2d
9/10
