More Critic Reviews for This Close Miniseries All Critics (16) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (1) But Stern and Feldman are more than enough reason to watch; they deserve to be in many more series and movies to come, but not before this series makes them heard. Mar 1, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic It's an unconventional love story that needs another season to figure out what it really wants to be, and how best to get there. At least the most important elements -- or both of them, anyway -- are in place. Feb 12, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Directed by Andrew Ahn, the six 30-minute episodes are handsomely fashioned. Jan 4, 2019 | Full Review… Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Top Critic As Kate, [Shoshannah Stern] shifts ably from apologetic to fiery to vulnerable. Mar 1, 2018 | Full Review… Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic A miscommunicated series about the myriad ways we can miscommunicate, This Close is farther from the mark it tries to hit than its title implies. Jan 3, 2019 | Rating: 4.1/10 | Full Review… Jacob Oller Paste Magazine ... the visuals and acting are so good, that it's worth watching just for that. Apr 4, 2018 | Full Review… Joel Keller Decider It's refreshing to watch a show that doesn't rely on verbal dialogue; so much of This Close is Kate and Michael signing to each other, swiftly summing up emotions and grievances and jokes with a gesture or look. Feb 15, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Audra Schroeder The Daily Dot This Close is groundbreaking, necessary, and the fact that it is a genuinely great series - down to its writing, performances, and subject matter - only proves that a platform for this kind of storytelling is long overdue. Feb 16, 2018 | Full Review… Jade Budowski Decider Intimate, graphic and immediately engaging. Jan 4, 2019 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Guide Even when the story sags here and there, This Close is a reminder of the creative value of more inclusive storytelling: Jan 4, 2019 | Full Review… Alan Sepinwall Uproxx This Close is a raw and insightful portrait of two deaf best friends, but it's also messy, a little cliche, and ends with a questionable cliffhanger. Feb 15, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider It's a frank and refreshing depiction of friendship, disability, and the different ways we can be intimate with other human beings. It's also entertaining as all hell. Mar 1, 2018 | Full Review… Jessica Mason The Mary Sue View All Critic Reviews (16) Audience Reviews for This Close: Miniseries Oct 06, 2018 Just discovered this show. LOVE IT Ramon A May 11, 2018 One of the best shows I ever watched in a while. The angle is so refreshing. Apr 13, 2018 I absolutely love this series! My husband is deaf and i am studying to become an asl interpreter. this show, having real deaf actors playing deaf characters, really hits the nail on the head when it comes to deaf experiences and discrimination. it's very funny and realistic.
