The New Yorker
Naomi Fry
Worth watching for Paul Rudd's surprisingly comical performance as a pretty monstrous psychiatrist.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
It's a methodically paced, odd but mesmerizing piece set to an infectious soundtrack highlighted by its strategic use of '80s soft rock hits. Besides, the cast hoists the show over and through its slack spots.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Maybe a different creative team could've done a better job adapting The Shrink Next Door, or maybe Marty Markowitz's story simply didn't need to be retold.
Chicago Tribune
Nina Metz
The way Ike silkily asserts control over Marty's life, and why Marty was susceptible to it, is a key element to all of this. But the show's approach is weirdly miscalculated.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
The show depends to a large degree on our knowing that this crazy thing really did happen, kinda sorta in this way. At the same time, with all such adaptations, it is cramped by that dependency...
NPR
Eric Deggans
Amounts to less than the sum of its ambitious parts; intriguing moments of acting and casting that somehow fail to reveal a surprising or enlightening tale.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Both playing nicely against type, Paul Rudd portrays the unscrupulous psychiatrist and Will Ferrell is the insecure man he exploits.
Slant Magazine
Niv M. Sultan
The series rapidly hops between decades but feels like it moves at a crawl, dulling the myriad charms of its leading cast.
New York Post
Michael Starr
Disturbing - and not in an entertaining way.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
If you watch The Shrink Next Door as a showcase for two extraordinary actors, you will likely have a great viewing experience. I certainly did.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
The three main characters and actors couldn't be more fascinating to behold while the writing and directing is snappy, shrewd and filled with wry little details that later have a big impact.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
A drawn-out true-cringe story.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Mainly what held my interest in The Shrink Next Door was the myriad reasons it doesn't quite work.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Watching the story unfold, as Rudd's psychiatrist manipulates Ferrell's patient utterly and completely over the course of decades,is sometimes like scraping your knuckles on a cheese grater.
Entertainment Weekly
Kristen Baldwin
"Something something daddy issues" is a perilously slender thread from which to hang an entire scripted drama, and perhaps that's why the show feels so sterile.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
No expense was spared in building sets and procuring costumes that make the socioeconomic details of this story come through crisply, but both characters are, in the end, ciphers.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
"The Shrink Next Door" strikes a few chords over eight episodes and holds your interest throughout...
AV Club
Saloni Gajjar
Even for those familiar only with the broad strokes of what real-life Marty Markowitz went through, the series presents the frustrating case with great detail and insight.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
On the whole, the series' inability to decide whether to play things straight or lean into the Ferrell and Rudd reunion makes it hard to get used to anything that's happening.
TheWrap
Candice Frederick
A compelling and crushing story, "The Shrink Next Door" is a riveting look at flawed humanity, companionship, greed and the cost of self-worth.
