Rupert Grint still impresses as Dorothy's wine-swilling, foul-mouthed brother, Julian (wash your mouth out, Ron Weasley!). And Ambrose releases the throttle fully for a performance of even more delicious derangement. Go to Full Review

B-
Though "Servant" often reads like a comedy that thinks it's a thriller, there are still some genuinely chilling scenes... Though much of the enjoyment that "Servant" could deliver is hampered by how it chooses to tell its story. Go to Full Review

Maybe you'll get a jolt out of the white nonsense at play in these new installments. Prevalent as it was before, the second season blows it up to the magnitude of a kaijū capable of leveling cities. You can't fail to notice it. Go to Full Review

Servant is much more than just 'M. Night Shyamalan's TV show'; it's one of the best fantastic productions from the last decade. Go to Full Review

Shawn W. @shawill8119 Jan 24 Not as good S the first season but still keeping me interested. See more Marco L @decatur555 Nov 23 (CASTELLANO) Servant me ha dejado revuelto durante días. No por los sustos —que los tiene— sino por esa sensación de incomodidad que te va metiendo poco a poco. Yo pensaba que iba a ser "otra serie de Shyamalan", misteriosa, con giros raros… pero esto es otra cosa. Es más macabra, más íntima, más enfermiza, como si alguien hubiera cogido un drama familiar y lo hubiese dejado pudriéndose en un sótano durante meses. Y yo, que soy muy de engancharme cuando una historia va por ahí, me tragué las cuatro temporadas seguidas. Lo que más sorprende es que todo pasa dentro de una casa. Pero es suficiente. La cocina, el pasillo, el salón… todo empieza a deformarse, a cargarse de tensión, como si las paredes también estuvieran metidas en el juego. A veces quería pausar un capítulo solo para respirar un poco, porque entre el sonido, las miradas, los silencios y esa forma de mover la cámara, hay momentos en los que parece que algo está a punto de romperse. Los actores son una locura. Aquí nadie interpreta "normal". Todos están como torcidos, como si escondieran algo que les duele o que les da miedo decir. Lauren Ambrose está increíble, pero lo que hace Nell Tiger Free es otro nivel. Da igual si sonríe, si cocina, si mira por la ventana… siempre parece que sabe algo que tú no. Y eso te deja intranquilo desde el primer capítulo. La serie tiene altibajos, sí. Hay temporadas donde parece que el misterio se estira un poco más de la cuenta, y algún episodio que avanza menos. Pero incluso en esos momentos, el clima que crea es tan opresivo que no puedes parar. Es de esas series que funcionan más por atmósfera que por respuestas. Y eso, si entras en su juego, es adictivo. Hay escenas que son directamente duras. No sangrientas, no explícitas, sino… incómodas. Morbosas. De esas que te hacen pensar "esto no debería estar viéndolo" pero no quitas la mirada. Y cuando llega el final, con toda la tensión acumulada, te deja una mezcla rara entre alivio y vacío. No es una serie para todo el mundo. No intenta gustar. Va a su ritmo, a su oscuridad y a su tono. Pero si conectas con ella, como me ha pasado a mí, es de las que se te quedan pegadas en la cabeza, incluso cuando ya la has terminado. (ENGLISH) Servant lingered with me for days. Not because of the jump scares —those are there— but because of this slow, creeping discomfort that settles under your skin. I expected "another Shyamalan mystery," with weird twists and big reveals, but this show plays in a different league. It’s more intimate, more twisted, almost rotten in a way that feels unsettling. And once it gets you, it’s impossible to stop. Everything happens inside one house, and somehow that’s enough. The kitchen, the hallway, the living room… every corner starts to feel off, as if the rooms themselves were becoming part of the nightmare. Sometimes I paused just to breathe, because between the camera work, the sound, the silences and those looks that last a second too long, it all builds up like a pressure cooker. The actors are phenomenal. No one here plays "normal." Everyone looks worn out, guilty, scared, or all three at the same time. Lauren Ambrose is fantastic, but Nell Tiger Free is on another level —just watching her stand still is uncomfortable. She always feels like she knows something the audience doesn’t. Yes, the show has ups and downs. Some episodes stretch the mystery more than necessary. But even when not much happens, the atmosphere keeps you glued to the screen. Servant works more on mood than answers, and if you enter its rhythm, it’s addictive. Some scenes are genuinely hard to watch —not violent, just… disturbing. And by the time the ending arrives, you’re left with a strange mix of relief and emptiness. It’s not a show made for everyone, but if you connect with its darkness, it stays with you long after it’s over. See more Elisha I @asapidox 10/12/2024 Season 2 stepped up the tension and delivered more answers, which made the story more engaging. The characters developed in interesting ways, and the suspense was amped up effectively. Still a bit uneven at times, but overall a stronger and more satisfying continuation of the eerie tale. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/24/2023 The second season of this show is more layered & definitely darker than the first, and builds beautifully to a dramatic ending that still asks more questions than it answers. Ambrose's performance is captivating and this show is worth checking out for that alone. See more Stacy B 04/22/2023 It's become a show about nothing. It refuses to advance the plot, instead milking the same questions present in the first episode of season one: Who is Leanne? What is Leanne? Where did she come from? Nothing is resolved in season two. The show has become boring and rudderless. Let me know how it all turns out 3 seasons from now! See more fabio v 02/26/2023 it is well-acted. Having set the good of the series out of the way, let's see how the rest has no redeeming quality. The entire series act on a simple principle: dissimulation. When there is something that seems to be leading toward a relevant discovery, it is abandoned in the next episode to maybe reemerge a season after without addressing what has gone in between. Eventually, the gimmick becomes tiresome, as it is clear that more energy has been put into promises that remain inconsequential. And with the piling up season upon season, it becomes intolerable how the story line does not address the contagious idiocy that must have affected all characthers, considering that they are putting up with episodes without showing any sign of being conscious of any of them.
