    An incredibly frustrating mini-series that strains your ears and begs the dialogue to flow coherently. Unfortunately, the narrative suffocates itself in utterly stagnant and debilitatingly slow plot lines completely baffled amongst convoluted dialogue. Watching this series is like being inside the mind of a person suffering from alzheimers recalling a rapidly fleeting memory.

Unfortunately, the narrative suffocates itself in utterly stagnant and debilitatingly slow plot lines completely baffled amongst convoluted dialogue. Watching this series is like being inside the mind of a person suffering from alzheimers recalling a rapidly fleeting memory. It is a nonsensical, politically-driven, verbose attempt at a reflective and didactic series about the life we live in.
    I can assure you this is a 'Woody' to avoid.    … Expand

    The first few episodes meander by, full of too-long dialogue and not enough action, while all the best moments are precise. ... Crisis gets better as it goes on, perhaps because a climax is not so different in film and television.

    A tired comedy that feels entirely phoned in.

    Woody Allen has made a TV series for Amazon--or rather, he’s taken what might have been a passably mediocre Woody Allen movie and chopped it up into six little partseach clocking in at a little more than 20 minutes, and called it “Crisis in Six Scenes.”
