What to Know

Critics Consensus

Vladimir is a promisingly erotic and academic endeavor that cuts through the clichéd noise of typical sex comedies with inspired vigor and actors who make discussions about desire exciting, intellectual, and affecting.

Phillip Maciak The New Republic Mar 27
The show may not have much new to say about contemporary academia or even campus culture, but Weisz brings to life its staging of the complexity of her reawakening sexuality. Go to Full Review Geordie Gray The Australian Mar 13
Weisz is fabulous here, completely on fire. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker Mar 12
Despite this unpromising start, “Vladimir” proves strangely compelling. Even when we think we know where the series is going, it remains as slippery as its unreliable narrator, difficult to nail down in both genre and intent. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Apr 29
Crackling with chemistry, caustic remarks and conversations that go sideways, Vladimir is sharply and smartly observed tale of literary aspirations and lust. Go to Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier Apr 21
The writing is sharp, the dialogue sly and the overall effect is a delicious soap opera of dark humor. Starting a bit slowly, eventually these eight episodes fly by. You will want to binge. Go to Full Review Ricky Valero FandomWire Apr 6
8/10
The seductive and sultry world that Julia May Jonas built will have Vladimir at the top of the Netflix charts for weeks to come. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Frank E @Franksmovies Jul 6 A great couple's show. Entertaining with a good laugh every couple of minutes. Rachel Weisz really nailed the character, which was different from anything she's ever done. My wife and I looked forward to it each and every night. The first episode will give you a good feel for what the show is like and my bet is, you can't watch just one.

Tim Treakle See more Jim S @js2727272727 Apr 26 Loved the show. Great acting, great writing. I do have to make a special negative shout out to the music supervisor. The music chosen was SO bad, every time something dramatic happened they chose either the worst song you've ever heard and/or something that was so on the nose (i.e. the character's going crazy and the song says 'going crazy'). The music supervision was so colossally bad. As soon as the show ended, another terrible song came on for the credits. But hey, that was the only bad thing!

See more Larrie H. @RT01895838 Apr 8 The fantasy and chemistry are spot on. And it's a gradual process which makes it hotter. See more Read all reviews
