Critics Consensus

Giancarlo Esposito is magnetic as ever in an overdue leading role, but without him Parish's watchability would perish altogether.

It is not only entertaining – if occasionally convoluted, with plotting that can be inconsistent – but anchored by a superb central performance from Esposito.

Parish hits all the obligatory crime-thriller beats. If you love car chases more than you hate genre clichés, this is the show for you.

Esposito’s talent demands original writing that rarely presents itself here. He’s excellent despite this lack -- so much that it makes you want better for him.

Series lead Giancarlo Esposito has charisma and gravitas, but it's not enough to elevate the mediocre storylines full of tired crime drama tropes.

Esposito’s charm and verve help the six-episode season move at a crackling pace, which comes to a noticeable halt whenever he’s not on-screen.

Parish is a rather generic crime drama with shallowly-sketched characters. But Esposito makes it watchable...

I liked Parish as a series , but as a Zimbabwean, I felt the Shona dialogue was off rhythm and didn’t sound natural. A voice coach could have helped the actors with pronunciation, tone, and flow. The effort to include Shona was appreciated, but the delivery took away from the authenticity for native speakers."

I enjoyed the show and would like to see a second season made.

Esposito is a favorite of mine from Breaking Bad, I was beyond impressed with how phenomenal the directing was. I am a film lover, and I am in awe with the way this series kept me on edge the entire time. Parish, the main character played by Giancarlo Esposito showcased the range of emotions felt in grief. It was beautifully executed. I've cried multiple times watching. The plot was well thought out. It also highlights the very REAL CRISIS of human trafficking that is often overlooked in society today. Low ratings because they don't want the truth to come out. SO GOOD PLEASE WATCH! I am so disappointed there won't be a second season to follow up. I wanted more than just six episodes because it truly was tantalizing. I admire the spot on casting, the representation. The way they captured culture was extraordinary. The acting skills were top notch. Definitely a must watch.

This has to be the one of thee best actors in the modern era , it's like whenever I see his face attached to anything I know it's going to be good. Very intense and nice action scenes had me wondering will it be a season 2 ? Maybe so Maybe 🤔
