James Poniewozik New York Times What makes the series captivating is its style and deadpan voice. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Animation keeps it humble, believable and meaningful. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal Not an entirely new idea. But a cartoon take on corporate skullduggery and incompetent government investigations is fresh enough to grab you by the collar of your Hawaiian shirt -- the wardrobe go-to of Marshall Cuso. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Common Side Effects is definitely more thriller than comedy, but there are enough funny moments to lighten the mood as things get more complex and serious by the third and fourth episodes. Feb 3, 2025 Full Review Sean Boelman FandomWire Four episodes in, Common Side Effects is an incredibly intriguing mystery that will absolutely hook viewers. Rated: 9/10 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Ryan Gaur IGN Movies Common Side Effects has the potential to be one of the greatest Adult Swim shows of all time -- as long as it can learn to calibrate a comedic sensibility that sometimes clashes with the seriousness of its subject matter. Rated: 8/10 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Joe S “A high-octane plunge into government and Big Pharma conspiracies, dialed to visceral extremes. Boasting stunning animation and powerhouse voice performances, the series masterfully weaves enigmatic mystique with sharp, intelligent storytelling. Adult Swim delivers a standout series that’s as thought-provoking as it is thrilling—proof they’re at the top of their game.” - @SlapDonuts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Audience Member Muito bom, recomendo! 👍🏽🍿 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review David R Animação adulta para quem quer assistir algo mais sério e não suporta animes.
