Critics Consensus

With Christoph Waltz's menacing charm on retainer, The Consultant compensates for its lack of depth with slick presentation and diverting twists.

Graeme Blundell The Australian It’s quirky and bingeable, a kind of toxic nightmare leavened by moments of surreal humour. Waltz is always amusing and Wolff and O’Grady are good leads. Apr 3, 2023 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Christoph Waltz uses all his Tarantino tics to menace his 20-something staff, although the clash of generations ranks below macabre office rituals in this amusing, if somewhat slight, argument in favour of working safely from home. Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Basgallop’s cross of “Silicon Valley” and “The Devil’s Advocate” doesn’t come together because he hasn’t invested sufficiently in the dramatic infrastructure. Mar 2, 2023 Full Review Samantha Schuster Cinéfilo Serial A successful miniseries for those who enjoy a different, disturbing plot and want to try to solve the mystery and questions presented episode by episode. Christoph Waltz, as always, is the best. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com The Consultant is a bonkers show that is a psychologically twisted minefield. Rated: 4/5 Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com What a ripper this quickly turns out to be, developing both as an engrossing head-scratcher and a cutting look at business ethics as Patoff pushes his underlings, keen to see what they will sacrifice and who they will compromise to get what they want.

David C Christoph Waltz is absolutely brilliant in his performance in the consultant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Michael D The Consultant is an absolute whirlwind of a show. Hovering between thrilling suspense and mind-bending science fiction, it adds a generous sprinkling of absurdity for good measure. Picture it as a hybrid of The Office and a surreal acid trip—utterly captivating in its bizarre charm. Despite its wild premise, the series maintains a coherent narrative that keeps you hooked from start to finish. With Christoph Waltz, known for his stellar performances in Tarantino films, leading the charge, you're in for a treat. Here's to hoping for a second season to dive even deeper into this fantastical world! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Dhillon P While the show kept me quite entertained throughout, I felt it could have led to a much more thrilling conclusion. By the end of the final episode I still had questions in my mind that were not answered. Acting I thought was great for the most part, although Christoff Waltz was the main reason for that. I did not feel my time was wasted but I won't recommend it to a friend neither. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Ahmad S great acting deep story and how twist principles by motivating for new goals Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Miguel Christopher is the highlight of show of course. But I read so many low reviews saying the plot and questions are never answered. Well if you don't understand the final episode then you should stop writing reviews. It was an extremely simple concept and was well executed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Brad O It is a comedy with just enough thrills to keep you interested. There were a lot of plot holes. I was entertained but this won't be winning any awards. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
