With 10 hourlong episodes of miniseries to fill (eight of which critics were given to screen ahead of the premiere) there is simply time for too much to happen in Apple’s adaptation, and it can’t all be gold. .... Worst of all, this new Max Cady has all kinds of new backstory, and the show inserts you into his subjectivity far too often. .... You risk a lot when you do this much explaining of a man who should feel like a terrifying act of God.

In blowing the movie into a 10-episode series, this Apple TV version becomes increasingly bloated and ungainly.

The mix of innovation and bloat yields a show that is both better than you might expect and disappointing in the same ways that most film-to-TV adaptations are. Where it does excel, so much so as to almost single-handedly warrant the project, is in its casting. No actor is more suited to remake Max Cady in his own image than Javier Bardem.
