    Had to binge watch the whole series. Surprising,refreshing,suspenseful and plenty of bizarre moments. I hope they make a second season. We kinda get a picture of what’s happening but a lot is left open for interpretation and that may be a good thing :)

    Good show but gets boring in the middle of the season, the story is good, Chris Waltz is playing amazing as usual.
    I wouldn't recommend to watch for people that like stories moving quick.

    Great Acting, Enjoyable to Watch, Like a Modern 8-Episode Outer Limits or Twilight Zone.

    great acting, nice weird story and mysteries and also funny moments, you want to know what happens next and keep watching. I watched it now 2 times and will watch it again.

    Christoph Waltz is amazing and brings a lot of tension to The Consultant and i strongly recommend giving it a watch on amazon prime video.

    The series stays on course with staying true to most of the books concepts for the first few episodes then starts to rapidly deviate away from it from about episode 3 or so but not by very much.

    Overall a very good binge watch and something to fill up about 4 or so hours of a slow evening.    … Expand

    While deranged enough to be gripping, The Consultant ends up being a little too baggy and chaotic for its own good.

    Although it seeks to be contemporary in its examination of workplace culture, The Consultant occasionally gets bogged down by incoherence. Heavy-handed symbolism and dramatic distractions muddy the waters on more than one occasion, marring an otherwise intelligent show.

    While The Consultant isn’t that funny or scary, and many of the supporting characters are one-dimensional. But if you just like watching Christoph Waltz being weird, this show will have lots and lots of that.
