What to Know

Critics Consensus

Providing James Corden with a surlier role that he inhabits convincingly, Mammals is an intriguing enough study of monogamy that unfortunately proves too trying a commitment before getting to the point.

Though it may be tonally wayward, this streaming series is largely an easy, attractive diversion, sharpened by the ruder impulses of Butterworth’s writing and Corden’s prickly performance. Go to Full Review

4/5
A mostly effective comedy-drama which delights in pulling the rug out from under viewers. Go to Full Review

For me the show's beating heart is something that goes unnamed -- and for artistic reasons that's for the better -- across all six languidly beautiful and methodically brutal episodes. Go to Full Review

While the writing is strong, it doesn’t make up for how tired shows and movies about complicated marriages are. Go to Full Review

Mammals is more complex than on first glance, and the same could be said of Corden's dependable performance. Go to Full Review

Stan S 12/03/2023 Certainly very engaging. It draws you in quickly and you want to find out what is happening with the characters. After the reveal in the final episode of season 1, however, I was very disappointed. The show engenders real murder-mystery style intrigue. The problem is that Cordon's character would never have acted the way he did up to that point in real life, had he done the things he did. See more OrisaIfa O 08/01/2023 I think that the chemistry between Colin Morgan and James Corden is spot on for this type of dry comedic drama. People give James Corden a hard time about his gigs, but you cannot deny that he is a very talented actor/performer. Colin Morgan matches Corden's chops. The show offers an interesting view of the potentials of human behavior in today's over-the-top complex world. I hope there will be a Season 2! See more samuel n 12/10/2022 Well....I was spellbound. I think James Corden and Sally Hawkins turned in their usual fine acting. The plot and script had me on the edge of my seat. Melia Kreiling is utterly exquisite, and I think she acted her part very well, although I was almost certainly too smitten by her beauty to judge her acting. However, I did find the ending off-putting. It seemed to leave so much hanging, unresolved, and puzzling. I guess I shall have to watch it again to decipher episode 6, or perhaps there will be another season. See more metta w 12/09/2022 Wasn't sure what was going on at first but it took a turn for the better. Very addicting, binged this in one day! See more Hannah J 12/04/2022 This was a really promising show with lots of potential, yet sadly it crashed and burned at the end. For the first few episodes, I felt nauseated with what Jamie had to undergo and I think anyone who's been victim to infidelity will feel similar. I would say ep 1 - 5 were captivating, slightly confusing but overall binge-worthy. Episode 6 however ... Just deflates the whole thing, like a nail to a bouncy castle. It's quite upsetting to watch. There are many metaphors inside this movie but aside from that, the series lacks depth and in my view, isn't worth watching 😕 See more 12/01/2022 I didn't necessarily follow every bit of this, but I found it thoroughly engaging.
