The Alienist

"S1 was great, but ⚠️ #grizzly #gruesome and #gory — definitely not for the squeamish or faint of heart! "

"Ok y’all, why didn’t no one tell me about this show?? I never heard of it before yesterday and already finished 1st season. And only cause I googled Dakota Fanning. So, so good! Are they gonna make a season 3???"

"Creeeep mystery and very dark for the times! This cast is a dream cast!"

"Decent detective show set in the late 1890s New York. Sherlock Holmes-esque vibes. A little slow and dry at times, but certainly an intriguing watch. "

"Incredible!!!"

"Love this series!"

"Read the book first"

"Very well done series. The subject matter is surely macabre and not for the faint of heart. Dakota Fanning is brilliant as usual and carries the show to a different level. Just watching her is pure pleasure. I really liked the attempt of portrayal of life of the 19 century as it was: dirty and cruel, no fairytale of the beautiful past there. Very good show overall, although I thought the first season was more interesting than the second. "

"The first episode, I wasn't sure What was going on. 🤔 I did know, from being a literature geek, that, as it explains in the introduction, that at the time that the show is set in, the profession that they called 'alienist' is what today we call a psychiatrist or psychologist. "

"So entertaining! I love shows like criminal minds and mindhunter and i love shows set in olden times so this was great!"
