Sci-Fi Ed Jacobson (Timothy Spall) is an unassuming employee at a train station who is alarmed to discover that a number of daily commuters are taking the train to a town that shouldn’t exist. When he investigates for himself, he comes face to face with an alternate reality that forces him to confront his own struggles around his relationship with his wife Mary (Rebecca Manley) and his very troubled son Sam (Anthony Boyle.)

United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"Absorbing (...) ['The Commuter' and 'Kill All Others'] are the best of the season and the ones to watch first (...) They generate suspense, curiosity, anxiety, and a sense of grief with greater precision"	POS

United States	Alex McLevy AV Club	"One of the most moving installments"	POS
