What to Know

Critics Consensus

A cat-and-mouse chiller that oozes mystery at every corner, Nocturne dismantles the crime thriller genre while Stephen Graham's sinister performance leads viewers down the entertainment rabbit hole.

A"perfectly fine" series which largely follows a template rather than something that’s genuinely exciting. Go to Full Review
Graeme Blundell The Australian 5 days ago
Nocturne is not for everyone – it does require some suspension of disbelief... But the performances are exemplary. And the direction captures that corrosive energy of Kepler’s novels. Go to Full Review

B+
Eyes On The Inside dials down the character drama from last week, setting aside backstory and trauma-dumping for a moment and pushing forward with the story we’ve been promised. Go to Full Review

As far as shows in general, this may be one of the weakest series offerings from Apple TV in quite some time. Go to Full Review

Peter L @Peter717 1 hr ago A poor man’s Silence of the Lambs. Writing is cliched. Most of the acting is well done but some amateur performances as well. See more
D C @RT38054850 1 day ago Really strong acting performances, direction, cinematography, sound and dialog is decent too. This series is let down badly by some very weak plot logic. Episode 1 reveals the location the 2 kids were held, but there is almost no investigation of any of the evidence that would reveal. Instead Episode 2 swings the whole plot to an overly elaborate and illogical reason to send the daughter in under cover as an inmate. See more
Pierluigi M @RT99505444 1 day ago Unfortunately not great :( See more
Anya S @AnyaS 1 day ago Four episodes in and just the same old tropes so far....the depressed sad sack detective who has suffered a family loss, the Hannibal-like insane-but-genius serial killer, the feisty black female detective, missing children, time ticking, searches through forests, etc. See more
Dan R @Dan.Rab 1 day ago Excellent show. Great acting. On the edge of my seat. Must watch. See more
Rebecca L @RL7514 1 day ago Frustratingly slow with zero payoff so far Painfully slow pacing and zero logic Four episodes into Nocturne and we still haven’t learned anything. The pacing is agonizingly slow, making it hard to stay invested when the plot refuses to move forward—and the writing doesn't even make sense. For instance, it makes zero logical sense that the facility would assign Rory Culkin’s character to the most dangerous patient in the building. They explicitly acknowledge that he’s a sympathetic person, so why on earth would you put someone easily swayed with the most dangerous person in there? On top of that, the incredible cast is completely wasted. I’m usually a huge fan of both Stephen Graham and Liev Schreiber, which makes this even more disappointing. Graham’s character is surprisingly annoying and hard to buy into, and even Liev—who I normally love in everything—can’t save the sluggish, unbelievable writing here. Do better Apple!!! See more
