I Know This Much Is True

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 .

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.

Don't fold clothes. Don't play with your phone. Just watch this series like you're in a movie theater. This show is a beautiful, slow meditation on family trauma. Mark Ruffalo is brilliant in the dual roles of twins. Rosie O'Donnell gives one of the best performances of her career. The cinematography is captivating.

I understand that some people don't like depressing films and TV shows, but that does not mean that you can bring down the ratings of a good show just because you don't want to feel sad during a pandemic.

Now, my thoughts on the show are very good. The acting from Mark Ruffalo is superb as he plays 2 characters and every other actor gives their all as well. The directing is also really great and while the camera work can be disorienting at times, it is overall done very well. This show is VERY depressing, I don't have a problem with that. I think people need to focus less on what exactly happens to these characters and more on how it affects them. This show tackles difficult subjects like grief and disabilities and it does so very well. If you are a fan of Mark Ruffalo and really well made incredibly acted dramas, this show is for you.

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.
