Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) [A] solid if sometimes predictable conspiracy thriller. Dec 13, 2024 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal What first-rate actors always say about the movies they do is that good writing is paramount; without it, nothing works. Or, as in “The Madness,” very little. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter There are times when The Madness, which features VJ Boyd (Justified) as co-showrunner, demonstrates some welcome nuance. Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Petr Navovy Pajiba Is it worth a watch? Sure. Are you going to want your time back afterwards? Maybe. Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Domingo continues to prove he can play everything and this series proves he has the charisma to be a leading man in any number of projects moving forward. You will likely find a lot to enjoy in The Madness, even if it is slightly overlong. Rated: 7/10 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Colman Domingo brings a veracity and intensity to his character in The Madness that elevates what is potentially a run-of-the-mill thriller. But so far, the show isn’t giving us any reason to think it’s getting ridiculous, which is a good thing. Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Darrell B Didn't hold our interest and the social justice messaging became tiresome. Had potential but poor writing and cringe tropes mean we can't recommend this one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review George R I'm actually surprised at the relatively low audience ratings since I tend to agree with the critics higher rating. Intriguing story line that completes an enjoyable arc to conclusion. The bottom line that corporate America doesn't always have our best interest in heart is not new but I thought, very well done. Great acting performances by all. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Michael T Excellent conspiracy series, Colman Domingo is superb along with a great support cast. A binge worthy choice Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Gabe S Doesn’t seem particularly compelling, adding to that the protagonist is far too soft spoken. As the moral compass and emotional outlet of the show he so far fails significantly to deliver Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review John M Has already been said many times... a complete waste of time. Every episode is basically the same with cartoon white villians. Writing is sophomoric. Acting is mediocre. Plot is ridiculous. And I had trouble staying awake through the whole boring mess. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Norm G Very good actors in a very bad series. Did the creator understand his own creation? Repitituve. Ridiculous. Boring. Waste of money. Time. Life. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
