    Weird, but good weird.

    I started watching this series without having any clue what it was going to be about. I didn't read any reviews, just saw the high ratings, and gave it a shot. The first episodes were a bit confusing and I was wondering where it would go. Once I got further into the story the more I liked it. It's just the weirdness that makes it attractive. And weird is the least you could say to describe this show. The cast is good as well, with Emma Stone and Justin Theroux as the two best actors in this series. If you like strange stories this might be for you. I wouldn't call it amazing and the best thing ever like some other reviewers wrote but it's worth watching.

    A great show but not that fun to watch.

    This show is great in many ways and unique.

    The cinematography is amazing and visually amusing.

    The acting was great, not from the main characters only, but most of the cast did a great job. The characters needed good actors to be presented well, and thats what they delivered brilliantly.

    The problem with this show that at first it felt ambiguous which then you wont feel the need to finish the show. It might feel difficult to finish it but it worth it.

    One of the most masterful mini series ever!

    Originally watched first released just wasn't reviewing much then and now absolutely loving Maniac again. I'm blown away this wasn't nominated it's a damn shame it wasn't! Crystal smooth writing that I crave so much that it makes me feel at peace and the ambient music throughout is a tranquil delight. Jonah Hill is electrifying especially since this came out a little while after his weight loss transformation! Brilliant story about a sophisticated program that tests a group of people in which stays intriguing and captivating!

    Thanks Netflix

    I have to say that I was pretty curious because of the incredible good ratings so I started the show. Some of the comments are correct, the show is quite stretchy sometimes and is definitely not a 10/10. But the brilliant visuals, the great atmosphere, the super cool soundtrack and the completely amazing cast Jonah Hill and Emma Stone make it absolutely worthwhile to watch. If you start it, PLEASE stay with the show until the end as it is essential to understand the entire plot. Good show Netflix, I'd like to see more of that!

    Literally just so good. Woke my sister up to tell her i love her. Called my mom. Drank some water. Some of my acne cleared up. I'm so happy that this show exists. Damn.
