Dark, funny, paranoid, arbitrary, humming with tamped-down eroticism and in love with all things weird: That's the good news.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Fresh
Stylish, scary, sardonically funny and at times just plain gross.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
As it is, pic serves up set-pieces and a measure of scope that are beyond TV size but remain rather underwhelming by feature standards.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten
Only two scenes in this spin-off are worth the time of followers of the TV series.
