Allen is definitely not on autopilot here, as the return to very simple, stage-friendly material might suggest; he feels more animated and entertained by his work than he has in quite some time.September 29, 2016
The dialogue is stilted, the performances are awkward, and most scenes go on twice as long as they should.September 28, 2016
Even by the diminished standards of Allen's late career, Crisis is barely thought through, inattentively directed, and remarkably disengaged.September 26, 2016
There are at least two good ideas tucked away to the corners of this series, which more closely resembles a bloated, broken-up film.September 28, 2016
Crisis pales in comparison to the smartly crafted cable and online comedies that are expanding the genre. There are much better options.September 29, 2016
If you thought Woody Allen would revolutionize television with his new Amazon series, Crisis in Six Scenes, prepare to be underwhelmed.October 04, 2016
Woody Allen setting a new show in the sixties feels a little desperate, like he's trying to physically yank back his glory days.September 30, 2016
There are smiles, but also cringes. Cyrus is terrible, and even May can't do much with this.September 29, 2016
In an ugly, miserable relationship, the narrative requirements of TV hate him back by reducing his masterful skills of character, dialogue and pacing to staggering weaknesses.September 29, 2016
Talky, tired, tame Crisis is a misfire.
