May 14, 2022As flat and dull as the landscape it is set in. Acting is also ridiculously bad.

May 13, 2022a very slow and ordinary production with bad performances, Claire is the only good thing about the show

With pacing that’s best described as assured—in the allure of its writing, cinematography, performances, etc.—“The Essex Serpent” takes a bolder chance in letting its characters stew. “The Essex Serpent” successfully creates a full world beyond its marsh, oftentimes treating the monster as a revealing conversation topic.
-
Meandering, ponderous and lacking tension, "The Essex Serpent" is in desperate need of more bite.

We’re tentatively giving The Essex Serpent a recommendation because the performances of Danes, Hiddleston and the rest of the cast can overcome the series’ plodding pacing in parts. But we’re just not sure how many people are going to make it through all six episodes when it seems like the first one doesn’t do much to set up the story.
