Season 1 Review:
It might have been interesting to see what “Mood” could’ve done given twice the time to tell Sasha’s story. Then again, being forced to do so with not just style, but efficiency, makes the breadth of its arc that much more impressive. ... Even when Sasha has trouble finding her voice, the series rarely does.

Season 1 Review:
Though it’s easy to guess at Lecky’s influences, her natural, nuanced performance and Sasha’s depth of character ensure that Mood never comes across as derivative. ... If the show isn’t quite the same tour de force as Coel’s and Waller-Bridge’s debuts, blame the pacing. Mood moves slowly in its first half, then rushes a resolution in the finale that hews a bit too closely to the prototypical tropes of the trauma plot.

Season 1 Review:
As intriguing as this concept was in I May Destroy You, it doesn’t quite work quite as well in Mood, with its much flimsier storytelling. ... Still, Lecky’s dedication to portraying Sasha’s emotional crisis never wavers. She pulls off a masterful performance full of small actions—clicking through a phone screen full of sent messages but never received, drowning herself in unfulfilling work—but the backstory bogs her character down.

Season 1 Review:
Because the show’s plot is one of escalating degradation, it’s simultaneously haunting, draining and predictable, though I give Lecky credit for avoiding both one-sided judgment — sex work in and of itself isn’t the problem, but specific contexts and circumstances surely are — and the most absolute pits of despair. ... It’s a good series with a sad, but not too sad, glimpse at 21st-century living, and it has me eagerly anticipating whatever comes next for Lecky.
