	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Emma Stone is as brilliant as the worlds around her (...) the many tonal shifts aren’t always well-finessed, but the star-studded, wildly ambitious miniseries serves up enough brilliant flourishes to leave a mark."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[Stone] exerts supreme control over her character (...) The beautifully made 'Maniac' plunges viewers into a fictional world that’s both divergent from our own and instantly recognizable"	POS
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[It] fails in every reality (...) 'Maniac' is as much fun as getting your head examined (...) The story-splitting nature of 'Maniac' gives the stars the rare opportunity to give several bad performances in one project"	NEG
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"There's a battle of style against substance in Netflix's new series, but director Cary Fukunaga makes it a visual joy ride and gets winning performances from Emma Stone, Justin Theroux and Jonah Hill (...) it's hard to look away from almost any portion of what's going on."	POS
United States	Allison Keene Collider	"Strange, trippy, and surprising (...) A rambling journey that some will find charming and others frustrating (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The show becomes a visually compelling romp through highly detailed dreams and personal discoveries."	POS
United Kingdom	Ben Allen Radio Times	"These wild tonal shifts are relatively seamless (...) The show’s biggest problem is a relatively unique one for a Netflix show: it left me wanting more"	POS
