Snowpiercer: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes

Critics Consensus

Snowpiercer takes a different route with its source material, crafting an ambitious sci-fi mystery with style to spare, but with little of the subversive bite of Bong Joon-ho's theatrical adaptation.

I absolutely enjoy the show. Still on season 1 and I love every second of it. Bit that damn main actor …. He is so bad… such a poor performance :( I don't know whose relative he is , but he seems to be the worst actor in the cast. The rest are amazing

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A rather disappointing series. Daveed Diggs is so wooden and difficult to watch in the lead role. Just a bloated and convoluted mess at times but the elements are there for something decent though. Hopefully in the 2nd season.
