Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) It works best as a horror tale, with the possessed humans transforming into monstrous form and back again as authorities try to stamp out the infiltration. Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Lyra Hale Fangirlish Parasyte: The Grey is the mind-boggling and eye-opening kind of show that reminds me there are still new and wondrous things to be discovered and created when it comes to TV. Rated: A Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Nelson Acosta Koimoi Parasyte: The Grey is definitely not Yeon Sang-ho’s best work, and it seems trying to replicate the success the director found with Train to Busan won’t be easy Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net There are moments in Parasyte that are better than any full seasons of other shows. It’s just they’re too far apart, and the connecting tissue between them isn’t strong enough this time around. Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Pierce Conran South China Morning Post This reimagining is also more interested in exploring the thematic potential of the manga’s concept, rather than its fun factor. However, Yeon’s message, while clearly about how humans organise themselves in society, is tricky to parse. Rated: 3/5 May 14, 2024 Full Review Matt Cabral Common Sense Media The action-horror series trades the usual brain-eaters and little green men for incredibly creepy, tentacled parasites that infect and fully control human hosts.

Jacee M Nice plot. I would say the story is not corny. I thought it's gonna be a boring show but i really loved it! I have to turn on my lights while watching it coz i was alone and twice that I had to cover my mouth not to scream on scary parts. 🙈 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Alan R This is one of the best sci-fi shows in a long time. The characters are well-written and the voice acting is the best I've ever heard. Lots of times the dubbed voices sound like cartoons but the English voice acting is top notch. Special effect are on par with any modern sci-fi. There has got to be a season 2 after such a strong season 1. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Stephen C 6 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review David W I haven't read the Manga that this is apparently based on so can't comment as to how faithful to the source material it is. Objectively though this is yet another banger from Netflix South Korea. They really are putting out some excellent product these days, especially in the horror and sci-fi genres. I very much enjoyed this and hope that a second series has been commissioned. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Ricardo d A idéia é bacana, temos efeitos bons, mas o roteiro não é atraente, ou talvez as personagens centrais não sejam tão encantadoras. O fato é que o que vemos parece que já vimos em algum lugar, e até mesmo o final remete a dejavu. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Ginseng P Incredible show. I was so impressed.
