I don't think it was that bad. It's definitely not a show to watch when you're in a serious mood. I'm actually looking forward to the next season to see how Josh copes with how the first season ended.
The best tv show i have seen lately, please renew them, i need a third season of this.
Fun and entertaining show with great humour and a little touch of self-criticism (of France).
Excellent show. Good witty humor and great cast. Very recommended!
THIS SHOW IS AMAZING. If u like mindfucks go for it, u will enjoy a lot. Gave it 9 because the first episodes are kinda slow but when it gets to the experiments part it just goes from good to ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY AMAZING. One of the best shows I ever watched. Hope it gets more seasons
This was the biggest surprise of 2018 for me. I randomly clicked on it because I liked the title. The first episode completely captivated me. The plot was so weird and surprising, I just wanted to keep on watching. The acting was a+, especially Jonah Hill, Emma Stone and Justin Theroux were brilliant. Everything about this spoke to me. It definitely isn't for everyone, but I think that if you like it, you love it.
MANIAC is really not for everyone, given its weird premise and multiple realities, but at its very core is a multi-layered and complex story of friendship, family, loyalty, mental illness and addictions. A mini series with a smart message about hope and finding true forgiveness within.
One day I will sit down to write a thorough review but, for now, hear this:
Maniac is one of the best series to have ever been made, and it's cult following will come to it in due time. It is heartfelt and heart-wrenching; it is mesmerizing and enchanting; it is empathetic and thoughtful in every regard. The creators put so much love into every tiny detail of this show and, believe me, you catch something new with every single re-watch. This is the only piece of media I refuse to hear any other word about.
Take your time to fall in love with this short series, and it will reward you.
What a weird and spectacular little series. I loved the retro-futurist 70s/80s aesthetic and how everything fit together like a puzzle. Full of incredible performances through several genres all in one weird sci-fi story.
Maniac, what a bold show. This show is possible the most visually appealing show on Netflix. From the poster you can tell the amazing use of color and it carries over strong into the show. What a world, what a set. Everything about this series is completely thought out and you feel transported into their world. It's similar enough to our world to feel comfortable but with a taste of dystopia. Truly, this show encompasses how I feel that Jonah Hill's character must feel at all times in his world. It makes you sad, it makes you curious, it makes you happy, and best of all it makes you feel as confused as he is everyday as the show goes on.
Beautifully written, perfectly acted. The layers and layers of complexity, reference to literature, philosophy, art, technology and medicine, all wrapped-up in a retro-future setting make for a delightful, loving experience about healing and hope. This is one of the best mini-series I've ever seen in a long time. It takes its time to deliver a perfect ending, that makes you wonder about everything you have seen.
Just one word mind-blowing. 2nd season really outshined the 1st.
