Critic Reviews
Nov 19, 2018
Season 1 Review:
Brett Johnson and Michael Tolkin structure the eight-part series well enough, scripting crisp dialogue and tense scenes that allow Benicio Del Toro, Patricia Arquette and Paul Dano to rip into every frame with their performances. ... But the ponderous construction involved in getting there places a drag on its energy, to the point that the production asks not for the audience’s patience as much as perseverance.

Season 1 Review:
It doesn’t have the energy or excitement of a B picture, though it does, despite its general somberness, manage to feel exploitative. ... In a seven-hour session, the series takes on an epic quality, keeping you interested on a narrative level at least; week to week, the individual episodes won’t necessarily deliver enough to make you want to come back. Dannemora, like the escape it portrays, is a meticulously planned and executed operation that doesn’t go anywhere.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, all the top-notch acting can't quite overcome the pacing problems of Escape at Dannemora. It takes five episodes to get out of the prison and even Stiller's most impressive and creative efforts at illuminating all the discovery, digging and sweat it took to get there can't make it more exciting.
