Critic Reviews

Connect is a lot of mix-and-match batshit nuttiness, and unsurprisingly, Miike directs it to the hilt. ... Miike’s visuals are sleek, menacing and sharp, and there’s rarely a moment that doesn’t hum with coiled energy. ... Miike makes sure to imprint his own distinctive DNA onto this macabre TV series—and, in the process, delivers the sort of out-there end-of-the-year effort for which genre fans have been waiting.

For TV watchers who aren’t squeamish, Connect has much to offer. Part serial killer detective drama, part supernatural horror, part low-key musical, the genre mashup will have you desperate to find out what happens next.

Both sides of this story are interesting enough to sustain episodes where we go back and forth, waiting for the two of them to come together.
