TV Series. Drama. Thriller TV series (2023). 6 episodes. The Mantle twins are brilliant, successful and share everything, including their lovers. Both are gynecologists and have a mission: to transform the practice in which women give birth. Their project begins in Manhattan, where they will pioneer a medical study that borders on the illegal, because they are willing to challenge the boundaries of ethics in order to bring women's health care to the forefront.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[It] is fast, fierce, funny and properly feminist. Weisz’s turns as a pair of gynaecologist siblings are absolutely knockout (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Keith Phipps TV Guide	"'Dead Ringers is an undeniably audacious, provocative, tough to shake series.	POS
United States	Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"'Dead Ringers' is brutal and bold television, featuring two outstanding performances from Rachel Weisz, who is clearly operating on another level here (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"It takes an unapologetically feminine look at the politics, science, and emotion of maternity in the modern medical era. But more than anything else, it’s a brilliant showcase for one Rachel Weisz"	POS
United Kingdom	Jasper Rees Telegraph	"Weisz has twice the fun in this sweary, snarling reinvention (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"If a new 'Dead Ringers' absolutely had to happen, then even the most gut-hardened of Cronenberg fans can concede that show-runner Alice Birch did the absolute best job possible in birthing this version"	POS
United States	Erin Brady SlashFilm	"While its feminist updates make for interesting ideas, they are ultimately forgettable against the show's erratic pacing and bizarre writing choices"	NEG
United Kingdom	Elizabeth Gregory London Evening Standard	"Hilarious, mad, scathing, brutal, and perfectly executed dialogue highlights both the brilliance of the writing team and the incredible skills of the shows' actors (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	David Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Rachel Weisz delivers a stunning one-two punch in Amazon’s unsettling drama series"	POS
United States	Kristen Reid Paste Magazine	"The series relies heavily on Weisz's stunning performances, a risk that more than pays off"	POS
United States	Taylor Gates Collider	"'Dead Ringers' covers revolutionary subject matter, and how it does it is somehow even more radical. The show may be about twins, but as for the show itself? You won’t find anything like it."	POS
United States	Emma Fraser The Playlist	"It is an uncomfortable and challenging watch that immediately grabs you and doesn’t let up"	POS
United States	David Cote AV Club	"For all the lush production values, smart, cutting dialogue, and Weisz’s monstrously fine performance, Dead Ringers still feels a bit much. Do we need six episodes?"	NEU
United States	Alison Herman Variety	"[It] takes one kind of familial terror and merges it with another — sisters who once shared a womb now experimenting on others’. It’s a surefire route to get under our skin"	POS
United States	Amanda Feinman Slant	"This gender-inverted adaptation offers a welcome, if sometimes unsubtle, twist with its social commentary about maternal health and bodily autonomy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central	"Simply stunning (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"'Dead Ringers' manages to squander two Rachel Weiszes (...) the actress’ performance can’t save the show from its litany of gratuitous diversions"	NEG
United Kingdom	Morgan Cormack Radio Times	"Rachel Weisz is simply superb in this timely reboot (...) Weisz's performance is just one of many reasons you'll be unable to tear your eyes away from this psychological thriller. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"Rachel Weisz and writer Alice Birch reimagine the David Cronenberg classic to very bloody, very twisted, and very successful effect"	POS
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Quite the genre-hybrid and very wild in many ways. Above everything, this shows Rachel Weisz being breathtakingly brilliant (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[It] is an excellent drama with chilling elements and haunting overtones. Based on Rachel Weisz’s brilliant pair of roles alone, 'Dead Ringers' showcases her talent across all genres and styles"	POS
United States	Bailey Herdé Polygon	"And as remake-mania continues to take over Hollywood, the failures of 'Dead Ringers' are emblematic of a lesson we’re still struggling to learn: newer isn’t always better"	NEG
