4/5

Nicholas S @RT89366007 Mar 17 Rare for so many aspects to come together so well, the script, look and acting are all high quality. See more Laurence S @Lazza 12/18/2024 Great show! Bring on season 2. See more Jack C @RT76299982 10/09/2024 "To the Lake" 'is one of the best television productions I've seen this year. It's absolutely masterful in so many ways, offering terrific photography and superb character development worthy of a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky. And I love much the song, by April Stevens "Teach me Tiger" adds to the allure of the sensuous Polina particularly when she is on a mission to ensnare Misha. See more Leonardo T @RT35621116 04/07/2024 Sensational 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 See more Emanuele C @Ema93reviews 03/06/2024 emotional, full of suspanse and without missing a bit of action. well acted (for some more than for others), shot with interesting camera movements and with a dynamic trama behind. recommended See more Steph N @RT64687213 09/19/2023 Season two is even better. The first two episodes shouldn't make you doubt. Not sure why only one season is mentioned here. See more Read all reviews
