I Know This Much Is True

Exquisite film drama in series form. Engaging, with depth that doesn't ever stall the forward motion. We enjoy supporting actors like Huebel, Hahn, O'Donnell and Lewis perfectly cast in roles that seem written for them. The dialogue is masterful, swallowing up actors we know so well from so many other appearances, as if they've only ever been just these characters. Careful, attentive direction and photography make each scene an essential moment. And then Ruffalo's all-in performance. Another example of the enormous quality-raising effect of streaming services on the series form.

I have worked in a Max. Security Forensic mental hospital for 11years now... what it's touching and wonderfully honest about this series is our unflinching look into the lives of the immediate family members of our patients. I have witnessed over-involved family, others whom completely disown their fam. Member, and every shade in between... This series touches my heart and soul as a clinician for the severely mentally ill. Thank you! Cast, crew, and writers/producers.

I watch a hell of a lot of television. Episode two could be the best acting I've seen! The entire cast was brilliant. The characters magnificent. I think we're witnessing something special.

I just want start by saying im not nearly as articulate as most/all that do reviews here , this is also my first but having just watched this I had to write something . Ruffalo is awesome , what an actor , everyone else is really good too . I have 1 problem with this show though . They are coming out 1 at a time , cant wait for the next episode .

Mark Ruffalo's A-list acting has been recognized through his 3 Oscar nominations over the years, but they were all for best supporting roles, and he has not won any of them. Until "I Know This Much is True," I've dismissed him as an actor just playing roles that disappear into the sidelines, with his soft-spoken unassuming demeanor. That subdued demeanor works well in this outstanding show. You can feel the character Dominick's pain oozing out of his raw emotions, similar to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker, except here, it doesn't seem like acting. Sometimes I wonder, is Mark Ruffalo himself really this sad? Give him a Golden Globe or Emmy for this role already!
