Brian Lowry CNN.com 10/02/2020
While Swamp Thing is determinedly derivative -- or rip-off-ish, if you prefer -- its extraordinary execution makes it a lot of spooky fun to watch. Go to Full Review

There are like four shows competing for air in this swamp, and right now, only one of them is interesting. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 05/30/2019
Based on the first two episodes sent to critics, though, it's a decent enough origin story carried by a surprisingly good ensemble cast and the assertive direction of Len Wiseman. Go to Full Review

The horror is good. However, the sad attempts at grown-up swearing are not. Go to Full Review

Swamp Thing is an oddity that feels kind of like a miracle. Go to Full Review

Will G @Kingofthepixies Dec 19 I loved the movies and was looking forward to seeing this. Unfortunately I found the background music too intrusive and I couldn't watch it due to that.

The foundational story is actually pretty solid but the casting's not great. Allison Reed's too young and doe-eyed to be taken seriously, and the lead actor's just too plain to be interesting. See more Tiago S 10/06/2023 Teve qualidade, bons efeitos especiais, a DC arrasando no roteiro e apresentando um personagem que já existia em uma HQ e era uma série que durou mais que essa, e há uma razão para não durar muitos dizem que foi por ter gasto muito dinheiro em um episódio de estréia, outros vão falar que simplesmente não era boa a história, mas o que posso opinar é na verdade que já no começo ele já foi cancelada e isso foi uma vergonha, já que ela estava sendo bem elogiada, mas há seu problemas também e isso vou escrever por aqui. Estrelado por Crystal Reed 'Abby Holland', Andy Bean 'Alec Holland' e Derek Mears no papel de O Monstro do Pântano, há de se pensar que daria certo já que Crystal é uma boa atriz e seria bom para ela fazer um papel mais maduro, e se deu bem só que simplesmente o tal 'coisa' não funciona, sendo algumas maneiras uma alucinação, e creio que a junção com a Drama acaba meio que desinteressando da série progredir, aos efeitos especiais não tem o que dizer uma perfeição de detalhes incrível, mas a construção do personagem deixa ele sem reação, mais uma vez transformando os monstros em bons caras que não queria fazer mal algum a ninguém. É uma boa série no geral, só que o que vejo é que por causa de durar pouco nem conseguimos nos acostumar com a história, meio que um livro de um capítulo só, não houve um movimento contínuo, apenas foi uma prévia que talvez faça ter interesse na série original dos anos 90 que tem no YouTube disponível, só que seria interessante que alguma produtora de streaming fizesse a continuação pois daria muito certo ou não, infelizmente isso não veremos tão cedo. See more Qasim R 04/07/2023 It's good show.Don't know why its get cancelled. See more Robert M 03/19/2023 They had the start of a great show, unfortunately budgeting and production failed.
