Season 1 Reviews
indieWire
Steve Greene
Finds some tenuous, mildly interesting thematic connections between past and present, and those jumps aren't incoherent. They do mess with the overall momentum of the show, though, sanding off the edges for a deliberate, meandering murder mystery.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Conversations around sex, gender, and mental health have changed over the course of two generations. Which goes a long way towards explaining why Paramount+'s Fatal Attraction series is such a disaster.
New York Times
Mike Hale
The thing you wonder as you watch the series isn't why they made the changes they did, but why they bothered making the show at all.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
[This] first-rate reimagining is far more complex, engrossing and adult than the 1987 original. And it shows that there was much more to be mined out of James Dearden's Oscar-nominated screenplay than Mr. Lyne probably ever imagined.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Unlike Alex Forrest, it's likely going to be ignored.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
It takes what feels like an awfully long time to get to the not-terribly-satisfying payoff, despite solid work by Jackson and Caplan.
AV Club
Manuel Betancourt
Here's Fatal Attraction (1987) filtered through an at times painfully self-reflective lens-as if the series were aware that its central setup couldn't possibly be uncritically presented lest it be misread as the stuff of puerile thrillers
TheWrap
Gwen Ihnat
Captivating, binge-worthy viewing, despite the fact the pacing can get clunky, stretched across eight episodes that probably could have been six...
TV Fanatic
Jasmine Blu
[Takes] an iconic '80s thriller and giving it more depth and nuance, expanding on a universe we're familiar with, grounding it, and bringing it close to home.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
I can't recall the last time the final moments of a series left me feeling so empty and irritated.
That Shelf
Larry Fried
... the film is a problematic portrayal of feminism and ... mental illness. The notion of reframing the story with a modern understanding of both topics has merit, but the way in which ... Cunningham has attempted to do so is thoroughly misguided.
Common Sense Media
Susan Yudt
Despite the modern update, the "scorned woman" theme feels dated and sexist -- that women are either devoted and sweet, like Dan's wife, or disturbed and dangerous, like Alex.
The Muse/Jezebel
Rich Juzwiak
This Fatal Attraction is missing something so fundamental that it's in its own title: attraction.
Pajiba
Chris Revelle
As played by Lizzy Caplan, Alex is a captivating presence. With her large, expressive eyes, Alex conveys hope, heartbreak, panic, anger, and desperation with a fearsome intensity that can be a foreboding simmer or a roaring conflagration.
RogerEbert.com
Cristina Escobar
No matter how strong the casting, how compelling the plot, and how coveted the original IP, "Fatal Attraction" remains entertaining enough but rotten at its core.
San Francisco Chronicle
Susie Bright
On... soap-operatic terms, the series is entertaining. The actors form an impressive ensemble, with co-stars like Toby Huss stealing every scene he walks into.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
Anchored by arresting performances from Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan, 'Fatal Attraction' is a solid thriller about a man felled by hubris and handsome-white-guy privilege - but the show undermines its entire message with an infuriatingly dumb ending.
NPR
Aisha Harris
So many "what ifs"; so little necessity for them to be answered in the form of an uninspired reheat.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Both Jackson and Caplan tackle the iconic roles with passion and put their own stamp on them, but the pacing and the lack of sparks make this fizzle.
Decider
Joel Keller
The series version of Fatal Attraction lacks the danger and tension the film had, and there isn't enough story to compensate for expanding the two hour movie into an eight-hour series.
