Well, The Crowded Room just dropped last night (06/08) and from the trailer, I wasn’t too impressed and planned to skip it. However, from what I read - that it was inspired by the novel The Minds of Billy Milligan, and reading about him, I was intrigued. Even reading that Tom Holland said he was taking a year off acting because the show “broke him” had me hooked.
I’m only into the first two episodes so far but I think this one is a keeper. Pacing can be slow at times. Character buildup and development is good so far. I’m liking the era/time period (1979 I believe) in New York. Acting has been good so far - Holland doesn’t seem wooden and is affect is on point for someone very troubled. Seyfried looks beautiful as usual and would love to see her role open up later in the series as she’s a professor (there is a glimpse of her teaching a class from the bonus content).
Thoughts/ideas so far….I’m thinking the various people that Danny Sullivan meets in the first two episodes, while all charming in their own way and just as burdened with their own issues, are all alternate personalities - Yitzak, Ariana, and even Jonny and Matty! There’s simple no way in my opinion that an introvert like Sullivan who is a loner is that gregarious.
Does anyone else plan on watching it, and if they already started, would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
