Season 1 Review:
Gorgeously unsettling tour de force. ... Dead Ringers is an incredible work of art, full of knotty conversations about the give and take of society at all levels. 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, who is operating at the top of her game.

Season 1 Review:
Unlike so many of its peers, “Dead Ringers” reaps ample rewards from its central switch, preserving Cronenberg’s signature strangeness while taking the premise to new, surprising heights. ... “Dead Ringers” 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.

Season 1 Review:
This "Dead Ringers" carves out a path that's fundamentally different from the one laid out by Cronenberg, and not just because of the gender-swapped leads. But even if it takes some time to understand exactly where things are going and why, it can fall back on one of the most remarkable performances in a good long while.

Season 1 Review:
Sure, it's creepy and confronting in the way you'd expect anything that's based off of the original Dead Ringers film to be. But on top of the gripping psychological nature of the drama, the palpable tension and the laughs, Weisz is also almost too watchable as the charming, hilarious, shocking and unguessable Mantle twins.

Season 1 Review:
This gender-inverted adaptation offers a welcome, if sometimes unsubtle, twist with its social commentary about maternal health and bodily autonomy. It also adds a few tonally inharmonious moments of outright social satire, particularly where the Parkers and their heinous extended network are concerned. But the biggest strength of this Dead Ringers, like its predecessor’s, is its stylish sense of dread.

It's like Nip/Tuck but without the soap opera elements. Rachel Weisz is simply amazing in dual roles.

A mess. After three episodes I've concluded that i have no idea what's going on and why i should care. A lot of f-this/f-that, most to no purpose -- but that's what writers are delivering these days - it's beyond tedious.
