John Anderson

Mr. Henshall provides quite the novel mix of the decent and the ruthless, the rational and the menacing. He is used economically, but as a potent, overly rational counteragent to Ms. Ahmad's comparatively impulsive and guilt-ridden Erin, the result being a very convincing chemistry. And a series that maintains momentum throughout. Read full review

Ahmad avoids badass action-girl tropes by drawing out the character’s sadness and fallibility. Who is Erin Carter? A haunted woman whose dreams and regrets make her a bracing outlier within a genre dominated by interchangeable superheroes and superspies. Read full review

Despite some plot contrivances in the first episode, we’re still recommending Who Is Erin Carter? because Evin Ahmad does a good job making Erin a bit more credible. Read full review

Although the acting is fine and I will always appreciate a cinematic shot of Barcelona, where the show was filmed, there is nothing especially unique or compelling about this show. Read full review

Who Is Erin Carter? is not convincing (at least outside the scenes that Watson – a preternaturally gifted actor doing a great deal with woefully little – is allowed to dominate). Nor is it suspenseful. Read full review

Note to male viewers ~ Erin Carter's ideal audience is women. The theme is a woman demonstrating healthy, vigorous female agency in multiple situations. The relationships and character's interiority is paramount here--unlike 99% of Hollywood efforts at depicting healthy female agency.Note to male viewers ~ Erin Carter's ideal audience is women.

This is a surprisingly well-written, affecting psychological portrait of a woman on the run from her past and from her own essence. The director was the writer of the long-running BBC series Doc Martin, which I was. fan of also. Like Doc Martin, the main character and his/her development takes and holds centerstage, supported by a fine, committed supporting cast.

Let's contrast this limited series with another recent Netflix release, Gal Godot, in Heart of Stone. I suspect Heart of Stone is the best female James Bond movie ever made. In contrast, Erin Carter is as good as almost any action-drama movie or TV has come to putting viewers inside the skin of a real character with real problems.

The series has several hours to work with, enuf time to show the unraveling of lives, Erin's life, her daughter's life, her husband's life, and the lives of two villains. The result is a narrative canvas used to create rare, believable, un-tropy 3D characters. Believable 3D character development--what a concept!

Given the extra hours, the depth of feeling Erin Carter is able to go to is remarkable and admirable, virtually outside of the usual predictable tropey Hollywood scripts (Mission Impossible, I'm looking at you). This depth and originality of character and plot development is mainly found only in good novel writing. Congrats to all involved in creating this.… Expand

This show is really fun...it feels like a relative of Alias, but fans of John Wick, Jessica Jones, Hanna, Jack Ryan will enjoy this show. I don't understand the negative reviews at all. I hope we get more seasons!
