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 .

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.

Top notch great A entertainment! Superb acting, writing, cinematography, and soundtrack! I know This Much Is True deserves praise it's so well done and I knew it would be after seeing previews for awhile. Crazy how there's already other reviews bashing the series especially since the premier been has had a chance to be out; the series is phenomenal and hopefully others feel that way. Mark Ruffalo along with the rest of the cast is incredible, I'm sure it'll receive awards in due time.

Really tough to come to any conclusions after only one episode, but it seems like it's staying true to the book. For anyone that has not read it, it is an absolute epic tale. I hope this series does the book justice...it's one of the greatest books I've ever read.

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!
