Snowpiercer is ultimately a disappointment, especially in comparison to the violent revolutionary movie. It feels like three different acts from three different genres of television, all featuring underwritten characters and a wasted backstory.May 15, 2020
It just keeps pushing forward, completely unwilling to give you people to care about in this vision of the future, hoping that you'll just go along for the ride.May 11, 2020
Bong's movie was a stylized wonder of set design and cinematography, but the series has a generic sci-fi look, and the action could just as easily take place on a spaceship or an underwater outpost.May 13, 2020
Snowpiercer a hilariously dumb interpretation of a modern masterpiece, but that's ironically what makes it so fun. The Snowpiercer show is campy, reductive, and super easy to watch.May 10, 2020
Even in a show about class divisions and desperate times, the concepts of criminal underworlds both feel like a bridge too far, especially given that the overarching tail end-front end conflict relaxes under the influence of the detective angle.May 11, 2020
This isn't Bong's "Snowpiercer," it's TNT's... Still, the series' dead ear for goofy language nearly sends it off the rails with two simple words: "train detective."May 13, 2020
Daveed Diggs gives a powerful performance as Layton, who organizes the inevitable rebellion against the ruling class even as he's charged with investigating the murder, which turns out to be murders plural.May 10, 2020
The first season of Snowpiercer weaves a narrative that honors its source material, while also subverting expectations in a way that could sustain itself for multiple seasons. The series tells a story that feels fitting for our current moment.May 13, 2020
The quality of the ensemble, along with a major twist goes a long way in giving proof of [It]'s ability to function as a television series, if not necessarily providing it with the depth that would otherwise make it the next must-see high-concept TV show.May 17, 2020
A perfectly serviceable but somewhat messy adaptation, as the initial central mystery is unable to sustain the ten part narrative, resulting in a rather bumpy rideMay 13, 2020
Snowpiercer is a harmless summer television series and one that pales in the shadow of the acclaimed feature film that preceded it.May 17, 2020
The show is burdened with extending a simple, goofy idea to ten-plus hours of television, and it can't quite fill the time well enough to justify it.
