The Daily Beast Nick Schager

Dec 7, 2022

Season 1 Review: Connect is a lot of mix-and-match batshit nuttiness, and unsurprisingly, Miike directs it to the hilt. ... Miike’s visuals are sleek, menacing and sharp, and there’s rarely a moment that doesn’t hum with coiled energy. ... Miike makes sure to imprint his own distinctive DNA onto this macabre TV series—and, in the process, delivers the sort of out-there end-of-the-year effort for which genre fans have been waiting.

Season 1 Review: For TV watchers who aren’t squeamish, Connect has much to offer. Part serial killer detective drama, part supernatural horror, part low-key musical, the genre mashup will have you desperate to find out what happens next. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Both sides of this story are interesting enough to sustain episodes where we go back and forth, waiting for the two of them to come together. Read full review

Nothing is as it seems in Connect. As in all of Takashi Miike's works.

You see a series with a lot of action, but what they tell you is an intimate story.
There is blood and violence, but the most significant pain is in the soul.
There is a terrible 'villain', but the story leaves you with the realisation that the real villains are those you meet every day, society hurts you more than any villain.
Then, the meaning of it all: it is a story about loneliness, yet it screams at you loudly that the key is in bringing loneliness together, in facing what comes 'together'.
"Connected", even more than Connect.
The depth and beauty of this tale are only possible thanks to Takashi Miike's art, spectacular cinematography, a soundtrack that bewitches your heart, and a cast that to call it stellar seems reductive.… Expand

Another must-see project from genre master Takashi Miike -now in his 60s and with over 100 titles under box belt the Japanese director still has a lot of artistic verve left in store and Connect now streaming on DisneyPlus, DisneyPlus Hotstar and Hulu in the US is another fine example of hisAnother must-see project from genre master Takashi Miike -now in his 60s and with over 100 titles under box belt the Japanese director still has a lot of artistic verve left in store and Connect now streaming on DisneyPlus, DisneyPlus Hotstar and Hulu in the US is another fine example of his skills. His first foray into the Kdrama world infuses Kdrama tropes with his own spin in this sci-fi -crime thriller. Lead actor Jung Haein, a major star in Korea (DP, Snowdrop, Tune in for Love, Something in the Rain) shows range and great emotional depth once again showing why he has a growing fan base globally. Kim Hye Jun and Go Kyung Pyo round out the stellar cast - don’t miss this… Expand

I watch way to many TV show and films, but it is very rare that I actually get so touched by a character in a series/film based on seeing myself in that persons shoes.

The emotions I felt via his eyes (one at that) as he struggles through the loneliness, isolation, wanting to connect, but unable to, how to have an ability that needs to be downplayed believing I can get acceptance and not get attention, struggling to accept who I am when you believe that most people dislike you. I love that the series at its core touch on real life struggles. Jung HaeIn potrayal brought me to tears.… Expand

Binge watched the whole thing. Takashi Miike did a great job. The acting is perfection. The visual effects and cinematography are also well done. It is a must watch.

It is so refreshing when a director tries to create something different. This is not your typical Kdrama. I love how music was used to interweave various aspects of the series. I appreciate that this series is driven by its characters where their plight is relatable at its core...It is so refreshing when a director tries to create something different.
