What to Know

Critics Consensus

While All the Light We Cannot See has a bright cast, its potential is often snuffed out by a tonally awkward blend of serious and silly.

Helen Trinca The Australian All the Light We Cannot See pushes our buttons for reactions that come even as we see the melodrama, hear the over-the-top score, and wince at the cliches. Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe The show, directed by Shawn Levy, doesn’t dig into the big issues it raises, most notably about the possibility of redemption in such extreme circumstances. It skirts them, focusing more on the atmospherics. Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Alison Herman Variety Knight and Levy aim for an uplifting, inspirational tale of connection that transcends division, distance and prejudice, but instead deliver a flat, jumbled story that lacks the desired effect. Nov 6, 2023 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Too long for a film, too short for a series, and with genuinely awful sound mixing (keep the volume control handy), All The Light We Cannot See suffers from a lot of technical problems. May 3, 2024 Full Review Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) Despite the flaws in The Light You Can't See, you may still have a good time with it. It's a nice story, what the hell, that could have been better told. [Full review in Spanish] Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The viewer does not know a great deal more about those questions than he or she did before watching the drama. The series tends largely to confirm liberal, muddle-headed accepted wisdom. Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Ellen L It was great season; however, it was very loosely based on the book. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Such an unrealistic WW2 film. Riddled with plot holes. Characters are not believable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Moving storylines, underlying statements about class, intelligence, and education. Excellent sets. A series with all the emotions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Maria C Caricaturated and sentimental nonsense. Poor story, poor acting. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Angel H Loved it! An emotional story filled with both tragedy and inspiration. This show not only had a great story, but breaks long standing practices of excluding actual disabled bodies - excluding disabled bodies even when the characters is written as disabled. In the disabled community there’s a saying, “nothing about us without us”. This was with us by authentically casting disabled actors for the role and doing a fantastic job at representation. Maria was a brilliant, strong character who could be independent and save her self & be a loving, social, and loyal treasure blessing all whom she meets. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Tom F This is very disappointing. The show tried to do a bunch of things, none of them turned out well. At least they hired a blind lead, and I enjoyed watching her younger version. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
