A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tom Ryan The Age (Australia) Ambiguity is everywhere in the masterful A Nearly Normal Family. Feb 29, 2024 Full Review A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Donal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) The sights and sounds aren’t quite enough to save this overlong script and despite its lofty ambitions, and sleek surfaces, A Nearly Normal Family is only nearly good. Feb 5, 2024 Full Review A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dustin Rowles Pajiba It is marginally better than mediocre, but it’s also a quick binge Dec 13, 2023 Full Review A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post A Nearly Normal Family offers glimpses of promise but is hindered by pacing issues and unresolved sub-plots. Dec 1, 2023 Full Review A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Marty Brown Common Sense Media A Nearly Normal Family depicts a somewhat compelling mystery, but, depending on the viewer, its central flaw might be tough to look past. Rated: 3/5 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review A Nearly Normal Family: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Joel Keller Decider While it progresses a bit slowly, we appreciate the storytelling structure of A Nearly Normal Family, which should reduce the chances of eye-rolling plot points and red herrings as we get closer to finding out what really happened.

elana k I'm not sure if I needed to watch six whole episodes to get to the bottom of this murder case as there was simply not enough substance, emotionally, narratively and otherwise to fill all the episodes. But the performances managed to overrule my objections until the final verdict. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review DMC M I'm of on the fence with this one. Did I like it or not? I'm not sure. I watched it right to the end because it held my interest and was well acted. I liked that it was dubbed with normal sounding British voices (a lot of movies dubbed in English are done so poorly I can barely stand them) but I think I was hoping for a better ending and more of a twist and overall I felt it could have been cut to 3 epodes that were more dramatic. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Kyle J The story is solid. Great acting governed by great direction (as i believe is always the case). Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Joshua m First rate acting really brings these characters to life. It is a little predictable though, but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Steven H Could only watch a few episodes then it became slow and the behaviour of characters unrealistic. Parents not discussing their daughters plight openly and the daughter once arrested seemed to lose her tongue and just say 'uhh' when spoken to. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Robert M Si re dejas asombrar por la serie te la vas a pasar bien, aunque un poco predecible en varios puntos de la trama. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
