More Critic Reviews for Marcella Season 1 All Critics (14) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (3) When the protagonist is female, as she is in Netflix's binge-worthy crime noir Marcella, the drama at home can be nearly as intense as the murder mystery. Sep 6, 2016 | Full Review… Thelma Adams Observer Top Critic Complex, ultradark, and filled with more red herrings than an Agatha Christie novel, Marcella is a unique, powerful crime drama. Aug 5, 2016 | Full Review… Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic If it sometimes stumbled into cliché, there was ample compensation elsewhere. Jun 29, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Gabriel Tate Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Rosenfeldt likes his dramas long, complex and tortured and you get the feeling that the Swede will make good on his promise to cram in more "hooks, twists and red herrings" (his words) before our time is up. Jan 28, 2019 | Full Review… Ben Dowell Radio Times Marcella starts off well, but pretty soon its pace is impeded by a number of subplots and the abrupt introductions of characters whose role in the overall plot is either unclear or irrelevant. Jan 25, 2019 | Full Review… Ken Tucker Yahoo.com Marcella stands out as a show that allows its central strong female character to have flaws. Sep 7, 2018 | Full Review… Rosie Knight Nerdist n the meantime, all we know for sure is that when it comes to the least capable cop on television, it's now a straight fight between Marcella and Chief Wiggum from The Simpsons. Sep 5, 2018 | Full Review… James Walton The Spectator Series one bashed its way screaming through several plotlines, scattering fistfuls of red herrings into the air as it went and leaving behind a series of structural integrity-threatening holes that left the whole thing teetering. Jun 12, 2018 | Full Review… Louisa Mellor Den of Geek British detective show is violent, complex. Aug 1, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media For lovers of British crime drama, it's a very pleasant puzzle.
