Critics Consensus

The Crowded Room is furnished with undeniable talent and built on a promising premise, but the story runs in circles, resulting in an exhausting and often frustrating experience.

Robert Lloyd

Los Angeles Times

The length of the series, which is padded with extraneous material... and scenes that run longer than necessary, dilutes its effects, saps the drama of energy.

Overall, I enjoyed the puzzle this show presented. It was hard to watch at times, and tackles really dark themes, but the acting is so great...

Exclaim!

As The Crowded Room's title suggests, the limited series is crowded with fascinating ideas, moments and performances, but they are obfuscated by a slogging, non-linear structure that never becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

Rated: 3/10

A Nightmare On Fierce Street Podcast

The performances and artistic direction elevate a story that never reaches its full potential. There’s something here, but it never gets out of its own way long enough to dive into the murkier waters the story deserves.

Rated: 3

Benefits from an A-List cast, but it’s not enough to make it worth a watch.

Showed great promise over the course of the first few episodes with an interesting plot and solid acting, but then starts to drag and it becomes a bit of a chore to watch.

an incredible journey through the dark sides of the human mind with a cast capable of handling it, perhaps too long in some places but series like this haven't been seen since the first season of true detective

This show is a proof critics are dumb these days. The show is an absolute perfection and Tom Holland has given one hell of a performance of his career.

Relax, it takes a little while to build but it’s totally worth it. Tom Holland and Amanda Seyfried at their absolute best, this is a layered intriguing well thought out and emotional journey. The kind of drama that stays with you long after the season ends.
