      Rebecca Nicholson Guardian The Sympathizer is exciting, meaty and a reminder that drama that demands your full and complete attention can be well worth the effort. Rated: 4/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Keith Watson Daily Telegraph (UK) By turns horrific and hilarious, and with an engagingly subversive undertow... there’s a hidden depth to The Sympathizer that belies its occasionally larky mask. Rated: 5/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Louis Chilton Independent (UK) It would be easy to write off The Sympathizer as being more style than substance. But make no mistake, this is a series that is really about something, that tackles expansive subject matter with clarity and verve. Rated: 4/5 May 28, 2024 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters The mini-series adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen's kaleidoscopic tale The Sympathizer is a knockout account of colonialism, war, and (the loss of) identity. May 20, 2024 Full Review Barbara Goslawski That Shelf The Sympathizer is not simply a spy thriller: it is part political treatise and part biting satire, a neo noir teeming with 70s nostalgia. No one can fashion such a complicated blend better than Park. May 11, 2024 Full Review Laura Fernández El Pais (Spain) ... A vision of a mythologization that soon reveals itself to be papier-mâché, which, in the hands of Chan-wook results incisively interesting.

      C M Confusing, Boring, & almost every character in the show is so unlikable. After 3 episodes I thought about quitting, but saw it thru. Wish I never watched & I'm big fan of R. Downey Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Jay L Great show. Well written with compelling, multidimensional characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Connor S A nearly perfect show in every way, with a dizzying pace and creeping undertones of panic and doubt. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review William N I went three episodes and I was done. The first episode was promising but then it got kooky and disjointed. I thought I was getting a spy drama but instead I got a mundane story that’s on the eccentric side and Robert Downey jr. playing a number of odd characters. Big pass; just not for me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Robert J Well done. Sufficiently engaging. Conflicts and problems of the characters have the potential to be repetitive and predictable. So far, there are not any more sympathetic characters which I would generate my caring or concern and extended interest... We will have to see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Louis L Histoire intéressante Acteurs moyens voir mauvais Effets spéciaux moyens Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
