Freud — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

An enticing blend of horror and revisionist history, Freud slips too far into the absurd and loses sight of the fun.

3/5
Like other absurd revisions of famous stories, such as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Freud is arguably better the more it leans into its ridiculousness. Go to Full Review

Such a wild departure from a more traditional biopic series might actually be appreciated if Freud didn't treat the cocaine-loving, free association-developing doctor as a mere bystander in all the murder and mayhem. Go to Full Review

2/5
An unashamedly silly X-rated escapism with a wilful lack of authenticity. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Weather the parts that are a slog - there are quite a few - and it will yield ambitious passages that strike a neat balance between diligent craftsmanship and flashy, old-fashioned dramatic swerves. Go to Full Review

Mark K 07/04/2023 Great series - enticing, with just enough historical perspective to keep it real. The deep psychology/alternate world element was a little heavy handed, but a good story line. the sexy scenes were good and those who appreciate a man with a gorgeous lean body will not be disappointed. All in all a pretty good watch. See more 05/28/2022 "Freud" is an intelligent and masterfully crafted piece of cinematic work. The historical elements were wisely used, providing a background to an exciting thriller with well balanced elements of horror. The direction, the acting, the production, the cinematography, the make up, the costume... All well thought out, nothing exaggerated, everything well measured... Darkness and light well balanced, Freuds theories shimmer from between the lines of the plot... Excellent! I binged watched it without a blink!!! Absolutely recommended. See more Tiago S 02/02/2022 Como o pai da psicanálise recebe uma homenagem tão péssima? Essa série foi uma das piores que assisti, no começo parecia que ia ser uma bela história de Sigmund Freud mas logo depois a mistura com a ficção foi algo traumatizante, junto com sessão espírita, satanismo, pais pirados, tudo fica muito confuso, não conheço muito a história de Freud mas sei que isso estaria longe de algo da sua vida. Além de muitos assassinatos, sangue e morte algo que poderia ser comum em uma época antiga, o exagero junto com várias coisas que não se conectam na série deixa o legado de Freud para trás focando em temas diversos e estranhos invés do próprio citado. É arriscado misturar vários elementos em uma só série, creio que foi por isso que o roteiro, o sucesso, o prestígio da série 'Freud' falhou quem sabe um futuro filme que seja fiel a ele e toda sua trajetória. See more tom m 10/31/2021 Reasonably well done. I'll likely watch the next season if/when available. See more fausto c @faustobalbino 03/09/2021 Loved it, there's hundreds of Freud's biographies out there, but the story here had nothing to do with that, if you expect a Wikipedia entry to early Freud, just don't, this is a fiction by itself, and one I really enjoyed. See more 09/27/2020 O primeiro episódio é bom, você acha que vai ser uma série boa. Mas aí as coisas começam a ficar muito estranhas, muito fora do contexto e você fica meio que "MAS QUE MERDA É ESSA???" See more Read all reviews
