"At once clever and ridiculous, its 30-minute installments play out like chapters in a slick page-turner."

TV Guide

"Eerie, unpredictable, and bonkers..."

—

Collider

"The bonkers comedy-thriller... burnishes the familiar deal-with-the-devil conceit with chipper, unapologetic cynicism and appealing performances from its trio of leads."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"The story is, in its essence, a vignette stretched to eight episodes... Still, it’s an engaging watch, with Waltz in fine form..."

—

Variety

"The Consultant features a complex central performance from an ever-watchable Christoph Waltz..."

—

We Got This Covered

"The series strings us along with unresolved questions, presuming we’ll stay fascinated, in a way that’s become irritatingly common among eight-part series."
