The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Mar 5, 2026

The eight-part adaptation of Julia May Jonas’s provocative 2022 debut novel of the same name has not shied away from the properties that made the book great – black comedy, bleak insight, evisceration of accepted pieties – and fitted them perfectly to the new form. Read full review

The Times Ben Dowell

Mar 5, 2026

It’s such fun. Awash with academic ego and sexual brinkmanship, it leans into the main character’s obsessiveness and makes us almost complicit in ways that feel naughty, grown-up and sophisticated — quite rare for a Netflix show these days but hugely welcome. Read full review

Angie Han

An antiheroine as sharply funny as she is willfully blinkered and as oddly compelling as she is repellent, she has a voice that defines Julia May Jonas’ adaptation of her own novel — elevating it into something knottier than the feminist cancel-culture treatise might appear at first glance, and all the more insightful for it.

The zany, farcical, HOT MESS of the first seven episodes culminates in a satisfying eighth—that’s cheeky and ultimately about reclaiming power. Not everyone will make it past the first seven, though. If you do, a wink and an arched brow will be waiting for you. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Mar 5, 2026

Vladimir is brisk, easy to watch, and occasionally droll, but any higher aspirations have been brutally muted. Read full review

The whole thing falls flat, but really, Vladimir was never able to get it up. Read full review

John Anderson

Mar 5, 2026

Ms. Weisz is shortchanged by the material, which likely wouldn’t be improved by, say, a snappier delivery. Or a less self-absorbed M. Everyone seems to be trying too hard, with the exception of Mr. Slattery, which is why he’s the best thing here. Read full review
