Inseparabili

The series gained good traction after the first half. Production quality was top notch, though was shot a bit dark for my tastes. I think it was a challenge to take the original material and work it into a less Cronenberg and more 21st century theme. I believe it was a success and was just as interesting as the earlier film. I've long been an admirer of Rachel Weisz and was really impressed with her in the dinner scene in episode four at about the 39 minute mark. That's the one that rings award nominations for me. She has had many risky diverse roles in her career and this performance ranks among her best. Dark themes for sure, but executed really well.

Don't compare it with the original, just watch . I think it's quite fascinating. But it jumps to much from one scene to another. Rachel Weisz is stunning in her performance. She's making it easy to see two sisters. The story is acceptable and the way the portrait women as strong women is ok. What I don't understand is why they switch so much in between scenes. I lost the story more than once. What the hell is the role of the housekeeper and why are there so much dialogues that I don't follow or don't understand. But then again, the story is acceptabel and I keep on watching. Those of you who rate after one episode or even less. Get out!

Crazy and disturbing it is...and yes there are moments of 'why?' (housekeeper and the dinner party weirdness) but it is also a clever script and impressive visuals with excellent issue based concepts from all angles.

I haven't watched the Cronenberg film, but the series at times gave me the same uncomfortable 'what is going on?' Cronenberg vibes.

I loved Rachel Weisz anyway, but I really thought she was brilliant and deliciously perfect.... twice.

I gave it an 8 because the only issue I had would be some of the plot was just too deliberately pretentious, but hey I definitely recommend it, especially if you are very very bored of the usual pasty bland stuff that has been coming out recently.

When I first heard about this series, I knew it wasn't a good idea. However, I decided to give it a chance because Rachel Weisz was in it. After watching it, I can say that it was a complete waste of time. If you were a fan of the movie version, your disappointment will be even greater. Rachel Weisz, who is also one of the producers, said that it's not exactly a remake, it's more like a re-imagining, but I still couldn't watch it without comparing.

Lots of things are wrong with this series. All the characters are exaggerated, unrealistic, and unbearable. The tone is unclear, making it difficult to determine if it is a comedy, drama, or horror, as none of them are executed well. By changing the gender and sexuality, they destroyed the conflict that the movie had, and they could have created a new conflict, but they failed to do so successfully.

I also didn't like the significant hair difference between the twins in the series. I know it's useful, especially in the final scene, but in the movie, the difference was not clear, and sometimes the audience was confused about which twin was which, which was, I think, an essential element in the movie. Even Jeremy Irons sometimes gets confused.

In short, this series is one of the worst remakes that we've seen in recent years.

I genuinely am baffled by the low reviews here. They seem to stem from those disappointed by the remake of the original movie so I'll start off by saying I've never watched nor heard of the movie Dead Ringers, so went into this completely blind. Rachel is absolutely fantastic playing the two opposite twins with a complex and at times, questionable relationship. The show is dark yet with sprinklings of comedy, the characters are prickly, and the storyline's are sometimes shocking and overall leaves you feeling like you've seen something you shouldn't have and wanting more. I've only watched ep 1 but I'm hooked and can't wait to devour the rest of the show.
