What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Fatal Attraction avoids being a mere copy by transposing the lurid classic into a modern era of sexual politics, clumsy execution ultimately dulls this story's edge.

Here’s Fatal Attraction (1987) filtered through an at times painfully self-reflective lens—as if the series were aware that its central setup couldn’t possibly be uncritically presented lest it be misread as the stuff of puerile thrillers Go to Full Review Camilla Long The Times (UK) 05/09/2023
This is sex on the side for the new, prudish, lemon-sucking, bubble tea, Sally Rooney generation. Go to Full Review Hugo Rifkind The Times (UK) 05/05/2023
That Caplan was also in the recent Fleishman Is in Trouble, which did exactly this but so much better, only serves to underline how badly this show has butchered a classic. Go to Full Review Joe Reid Primetimer 08/06/2023
Unfortunately, the resulting show is a bloated, scattered, and thematically incoherent revisitation of Adrian Lyne's 1987 that ultimately doesn't end up serving Alex much better. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground 07/15/2023
It's still a portrait of obsession, but it spies more than just one type of fixation and one basis for it. Go to Full Review Gena Radcliffe The Spool 06/02/2023
Now, you might be asking “How did they successfully take this tightly paced two-hour-long movie and stretch it into eight hours?” Well, the quick answer is they didn’t. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lisa K @RT75167824 10/17/2024 Paying for this is ridiculous. Who can do that See more Nomi M @RT18708643 12/06/2023 It's a great series if you're looking for time jumping confusion and vocal fry. See more Ellen A @RT31911957 08/30/2023 I was fascinated by it and binged it in just over two days. The critics can go back to watching "Roma". See more Danilo F @RT40178992 08/02/2023 Yeah! Lizzy Caplan big eyes are amazing! See more Andrei D @RT74856639 06/07/2023 Some decent acting, some bad plotting See more BigDeez C @Stevie 06/06/2023 I had high hopes for this it's OK but honestly it's a little tough to follow. They keep going back-and-forth in time and they also keep going back-and-forth from different actors perspectives it gets confusing. Also seems like they're there lecturing to the audience too much could've been much better got boring, but was OK. See more Read all reviews
