Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad") stars in this Hulu original as Eddie Lane, a member of a new-age spiritualist movement known as Meyerism. Unbeknownst to his wife and children, who are also members of the movement, Eddie has a vision about Meyerism's founder that causes him to have a crisis of faith -- right as he is expected to advance further up the spiritual ladder. Eddie decides to secretly meet with a Meyerist defector, causing his wife (Michelle Monaghan) -- an important figure in Meyerism -- to become suspicious. As the movement grows exponentially worldwide, Eddie is forced to face the question of whether he can grow Meyerism without becoming a cult leader.

Critics Consensus

The Path struggles with occasionally logy pacing in its second season, but an expanded canvas and heightened stakes -- along with overall solid performances -- make the end results worth watching.

All told, The Path is an engaging way to spend your spare time, but you're not likely to make like the cult members and reorganize your life around it. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 01/25/2017
4/5
But what was always good about The Path is better than ever in season two. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 01/25/2017
A-
The lessons are harsh and delivered with greater conviction. Guided by strong performances all around, each character feels like they're living on the edge of a revelation. Go to Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 12/28/2017
"The Path" can be maddeningly slow at times, but it's those sublime moments of uncertainty that make it unlike anything else on television right now. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV 03/15/2017
There's a lot that's good about The Path, but you have to chop through an underbrush of tedium to remain on its trail. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 03/15/2017
7.8/10
The Path contains ace performances from its three leads, and Season 2 works hard to expand the story up and out of the compound as Eddie attempts to live a post-cult life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/19/2020 Just see the number of audience reviewers counting. It is decreased compared with Season 1. 1, The story was going well till episode 12. But u need more patience. Because you may feel boring on some episodes. It is ultimately lengthy. 2, Sarah and cal did not punished for their crimes. They were better negative pair. But their love was another boring triangle love. 3, Episode 13 will be irritating and mostly we will say WTF??? Am I really watched the whole shit show for this ending. See more 12/20/2019 Frustrating. Don't like some of the new characters. See more 03/09/2018 Season 2 was pretty intense DEFINITELY worth watching if you have seen season 1 as story line pics up well. See more Lucky B 03/06/2018 I am beginning to learn that maybe there is something to the "sophomore slump" meaning the second season of a show tends to not hit the same peaks as season 1. That isn't to say I haven't like the show, but you can see some changes that should have happened and didn't and some that didn't but should have. I want to say first of all that the acting is just as good, if not better. Aaron Paul is someone a person can identify with even more, Hugh Dancy is becoming more unhinged and the rest just flow together better. That being said the season was too long. They added three more episodes, but that just made the main point drag way too much. Instead of telling a story the writers had to fill time and that is what made it not as high up on my list. The single biggest plot issue I had was the disappearance of the whole investigating a murder storyline. I realize it is a little bit of a spoiler to say that, but there is absolutely nothing about it in the second season, as if the writers just cut it out completely. Maybe it will come back around in Season 3, but I doubt it. Pros: Once again Aaron Paul is great, the rest do well in acting. The character and actor for Hawk is just growing on me. Cons: Sometimes making a longer season doesn't make the show better. Too much filler means it takes too long to tell the story. See more 06/24/2017 I am so disappointed with this show. The plot is vague and everyone is sneaky. Eddie is the only one I like. The rest suck. See more 03/25/2017 A fabulous second season, expanding an already complex story that forces the audience to question the nature of their own belief. See more Read all reviews
