Richard Williams Guardian "Twin Peaks meets Casualty" is the conventional capsule definition, but it's a whole lot weirder -- and funnier, and scarier -- than that. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Ryan Gilbey Independent (UK) Together, these eight hours of mind-boggling, grimly funny, deeply unsettling surrealism drag cinema kicking and screaming into waters uncharted since Von Trier's Breaking the Waves. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Geoff Brown The Times (UK) The second series offers greater absurdities than before, although the grainy, bleached images and eccentric performances follow the established style. Feb 1, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand This cult Danish mini-series plays like a nightmarish cross between Twin Peaks and Chicago Hope as directed by David Cronenberg, and even that hardly captures the giddy absurdity of Lars von Trier’s soap opera come horror tale.

Justin E The second part of this two season series is as radical an evolution of the first season's genius as it is a tribute to the Giallo imagery and Biblical themes it relies on. Utterly astounding, humorous and grotesque simultaneously. If only it came to a satisfying conclusion… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
