Servant

Critics Consensus

Though Servant's slithering mystery often wanders into dark, crowded corners, its claustrophobic atmosphere and powerful performances build enough tension to keep viewers hooked.

Critic Reviews for Servant Season 1

All Critics (36) | Top Critics (13)

Servant has the potential to carry through on its promise. But the aesthetic identity established by Shyamalan in that first episode is strong.

Dec 2, 2019 | Full Review…

Seemingly inspired by Rosemary's Baby, there's no recovering from the worm-ridden nature of its concept, which starts off fuzzy and weird and doesn't get much clearer over time.

Top Critic

It's eerie and unsettling in ways that television often tries to be but rarely accomplishes.

Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

It's a good premise, surrounded by good ideas, and yet there's no saving something that was never alive to begin with.

Top Critic

Servant has much to commend it... But it is never... remotely scary. Creepy, yes. Atmospheric, always. Unsettling in general. But so little actually happens that the series drags.

Top Critic

Doesn't seem to have the emotional curiosity to earn its premise.

Dec 2, 2019 | Full Review…

The show unravels its story through its brisk half-hour episodes by maintaining the aforementioned delicate balance, and rewarding patience with deep character growth.

Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

For all of the plot's shortcomings, moment-to-moment Servant is a delight with a surprising amount of laughs to share.

Nov 26, 2019 | Full Review…

If it sinks too deeply into the quagmire of weirdness it could very well stop being scary and become, instead, merely eccentric. Servant is veering close to campiness already.

Nov 26, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

A small, but impressive cast also do wonders.

Nov 25, 2019 | Full Review…

By bucking the trend of bloated runtimes and unnecessarily long seasons, Servant proves that it's a great thriller, not in spite of its short runtime; but because of it.

Nov 27, 2019 | Full Review…

Thereby hangs a dark tale.

Audience Reviews for Servant: Season 1

  • 4h ago
    Servant has truly set a new bar in the streaming content wars. A unique blend of slow-burning, character driven psychological drama keeps us unequivocally invested. Plus, with its never-ending supply of tension and opportunities for nervous laughter to boot, I find myself sitting closer and closer to the edge of my seat with each episode.

    This isn't how human people behave. Boring and artificial.

    This guy made one good movie and a bunch of subpar movies. This falls in the subpar category. Why do people keep throwing money at him?

    Absolutely nuts. I already was really hyped and wasn't disappointed at all. Great new camera perspective with great sound design and characters! Absolutely gorgeous!!
  • 2d ago
    Superb suspense and a true focus on precise filming, lighting and mood. Each episode is 30 minutes long but it feels like an hour as the plot leaves you completely absorbed. The actors are relatively unknown but simply brilliant. This TV series will make them and Apple TV Plus.
