Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Feb 16, 2024
The length of the series, which is padded with extraneous material... and scenes that run longer than necessary, dilutes its effects, saps the drama of energy. Go to Full Review

Overall, I enjoyed the puzzle this show presented. It was hard to watch at times, and tackles really dark themes, but the acting is so great... Go to Full Review

3/10
As The Crowded Room's title suggests, the limited series is crowded with fascinating ideas, moments and performances, but they are obfuscated by a slogging, non-linear structure that never becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review

The performances and artistic direction elevate a story that never reaches its full potential. There’s something here, but it never gets out of its own way long enough to dive into the murkier waters the story deserves. Go to Full Review

Benefits from an A-List cast, but it’s not enough to make it worth a watch. Go to Full Review

Nate R @RT62714461 3 days ago Apple TV shows suck besides Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, and Criminal Record. This one adheres to the rule. Typical Apple. No grit, no substance, sterile delivery. See more Sharon B @Sharon79 Oct 14, 2026 I just watched this movie a few years after its debut. I was left wondering how Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried didn't win awards for their performances. I have to believe the timing of its release, 2023, had something to do with it. The pandemic was just releasing its grip on us. All I know is this movie is at the top of my recommendations right now. It gave me new respect for Tom Holland, (he is unbelievably electric in what must have been an exhausting role) and reminded me of Amanda Seyfried's range and talent. See more Megan H @RT89833517 Oct 14, 2026 The critics reviews are shocking. This was a brilliant watch. Dark at times, heart warming in places and lots of plot twist which really takes you to put it all together right there at the end. Well worth the watch so much so I binged it in a day See more Alice C @Alice24106 Oct 11, 2026 Completely gripped. Tom Holland and Amanda sensational. I felt so much for the main character Danny. It made me profoundly sad that a sexually abused young boy could disassociate with so many alters. His suffering must have been monumental. All sexually abused must suffer is some way or other for all their lives. Imbedded in their brains forever. Deeply and profoundly affecting. See more Melody B @RT20986357 Oct 1, 2026 This is the first Hollywood depiction of MPD (DID) that has ever gotten it right. The slow pace actually makes the viewer feel the excruciating pressure and pain of walking through the uncovering of his system. I watched knowing nothing about it and was delighted to see magnificent acting and a tender thoughtful storytelling. It’s not supposed to be shocking it’s done in such a way as to let the audience feel the struggle of dealing with this kind of trauma. Brava to the writers, producers and cries! See more Kristina F @RT65340297 Oct 1, 2026 This show was slower paced but it in a definite slow burn type of way. I liked that it took a few episodes before it built up enough to realize what was truly happening. I started watching not knowing what it was about, the plot twists pulled me in and I binged the second half of the series. Amanda Seyfried was phenomenal, as always. Tom Holland's performance, his ability to show such emotional depth with the multi-layered role, was deserving of an Emmy nod, easily one of his best performances. I'm surprised he didn't get a nomination and I honestly don't understand why critics panned the show. I would definitely recommend it, especially if you like psychological dramas.
