The Alienist (TV Series) Angel of Darkness: Labyrinth (2020) User Reviews

Strong episode

[jwwalrath-227-85487 · 9/10 · 28 July 2020]

This is simply an episode that works really well. The plot moves along really smoothly.

Poor Soundtrack choice

[pauljefferysmith · 7/10 · 13 January 2021]

Good episode. Distracting song choice.

Season is set in 1897. Piano player playing "Pineapple Rag" by Scott Joplin...

Written in 1907..

You can do better.

Why Are They Making Sara Howard a Mary Sue ??

[buickman-20245 · 6/10 · 31 July 2020]

They had the perfect strong female character in Season One. Now she knows all and does all. She is even doing all the Psychological profiling instead of Kreizler. They have obviously are giving the lines written for him to her character.

John Moore has be reduced to a weak character who spends all his time getting push around by his fiancee, Sara, and Hearst.

Kreizler just stands around and gabs most of the time since Sara now does everything that requires a brain.

Something is off with this season

[luckynicgrl · 5/10 · 28 July 2020]

I'm not quite sure why this season is so heavy with Dakota Fanning's characters Sarah. She's in just about every scene. It's called The Alienist, not the detective agency. Everything feels disjointed with the three of them and seems slower paced, making for not good tv. I feel like nothing is happening and yet I can't follow some scenes that are shown without being confused. I want to love this season, since season one was brilliant but it's proving difficult as of episode 4.
