The Daily BeastBarry LevittApr 26, 2023
Season 1 Review: A show that fundamentally misunderstands its own main attraction—hot, steamy sex!—by instead delivering some of the most tepid, lifeless sex scenes in recent memory. ... The premise of Obsession is as ludicrous as it is lurid. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Just like Sex/Life before it, this is just another feeble attempt to appeal to our most base instincts and failing to deliver on a climax. Read full review

The IndependentJessie ThompsonApr 13, 2023
Season 1 Review: The thinly drawn, two-dimensional characters leave the actors helplessly stranded. Only Varma escapes with her dignity intact. Murphy, so good as Ann Gallagher in Happy Valley, has to play a sexual cipher, while Armitage's performance mainly seems to entail "man trying to not have an erection". Read full review
