Miniseries Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
Watching Yo-Yo and his buddies slowly discover this crushing truth in a miniseries that often has the look and feel of more sentimental war pictures, well, that's where the true power of Hulu's "Catch-22" resides.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The overall result is a production that's intriguing but ultimately as thin as it is handsome, and emotionally removed in a way that dilutes the larger impact.
AV Club
Erik Adams
It's uncommonly tricky material, much of its humor wrapped up in wordplay, many of its characters allegorical sketches. Hulu's Catch-22 tries to address the latter by bumping up the pathos, but that just makes the miniseries less enjoyable to watch.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Catch-22, again, isn't perfect, because Heller's book is far too prickly and paradoxical for an easy interpretation. But it's almost always faithful to what Heller wanted to communicate and-in its finest scenes-transcendent.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Vikram Murthi
Clooney mostly does his standard blusteringly goofy Coen Brothers routine as Lieutenant Scheisskopf, but it works fairly well.
The New Yorker
Troy Patterson
The adaptation is often rote and merely serviceable.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Good (and good-looking) production, but without contemporary relevance, urgency or edge.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Scenes between actors are often funny and rich. And then the picture wanders off to find another human encounter, leaving dead air in its wake.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carlos Valladares
It's almost unimaginable that any adaptation of Joseph Heller's Catch-22 could be boring, but here we are.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Where it strikes off on its own, whether in dialogue or wholly new scenes, it tends to get obvious and flat.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
I like what they've done with it here overall. It may not be crammed full to bursting with amazing comic actors, the way Nichols' half-right movie was. It's softer, I guess. But it's not soft-headed.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
As a period piece with universal refrains, it has a lot going for it.
NPR
Linda Holmes
There are good reasons to visit this project, but the big-name actors are, interestingly, not really among them. The lesser-known actors are, in many cases, stronger.
NPR
David Bianculli
It makes room for some small but soaring set pieces, like Giancarlo Giannini's brief appearance as an old, Italian man giving the young, American soldiers a lesson in wartime relativity.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
The lack of effectively written and delivered humor in "Catch-22" downgrades it from a flawless flight to merely a very good one. The adaptation misses a few of Heller's main targets, but hits enough of the notes to make it a worthy undertaking.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
It's not easy to balance a whip-smart farce about military bureaucracy with deadly serious wartime issues, but Catch-22 does just that.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Hulu's version... strips "Catch-22" down to its essential brilliance and then builds it back up into a sweeping, beautifully filmed, humorous yet tragic tale of a young man forever changed by war.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Without it, the antiwar and anti-authoritarian themes don't register with any real force. Apparently the Catch-22 of "Catch-22" is that to put it onscreen, you have to eviscerate it.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
For a series that gradually loses its sharpness in its commentary on power and masculinity in wartime, Abbott's performance constantly reminds you of what's so great about Heller's book.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
Virtually all of the miniseries' attempts at comedy land with all the delicacy of one of Yossarian's aerial payloads... The humor stumbles when it should swing.
