    The series is "inspired" by the book "The Minds of Billy Milligan.," but it takes radical departures from the REAL character, about whom there is considerable debate about whether he suffered from "Multiple Personality Disorder" now known as "Dissociative Identity Disorder" or was just a stone cold sociopath who likely murdered someone after fleeing the mental hospital in Oho.

    Anyone who remembers "The Three Faces of Eve" movie or the "Sybil" miniseries - both remarkable stories of another case, will appreciate how seductive these stories can be.    … Expand

    Despite a sometimes self-sabotaging sense of its own mystery and occasionally glacial pacing, The Crowded Room’s slick ‘70s stylisation, timely themes, and a mercurial Tom Holland will certainly keep you watching.

    By the end of the third episode, as the clues mount up, you will have an idea where the story is heading and then the show starts to feel dragged out, its intensity diluted. It’s serviceable, but it’s not the spiky thriller it could have been.

    A couple of the performances here are pitched at a level that’s almost engaging. But wandering through vivid recreations of New York’s (gay) club scene on the cusp of New Wave, London stock footage exteriors and generic interiors becomes almost sleep inducing. There are NO STAKES IN “The Crowded Room.”
