Snowpiercer: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

"Snowpiercer will satisfy those who have been the most curious to see where it goes. With a second season on the horizon and the show making some bold moves, it’s not entirely impossible for the problems plaguing this first season — most notably the narrative inconsistencies — to be smoothed out in future episodes."

ColliderCollider

"Snowpiercer” has a curiosity about its characters that exceeds its grasp. It places them in arrangements and situations that are genuinely wild, and then elicits bland or unremarkable emotional reactions."

VarietyVariety

"Snowpiercer isn't exactly good, but at least isn't a disaster."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The story comes together midway through the 10-episode season, raising provocative political questions. But with so much appealing TV out there, some are bound to disembark early."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"So while insurrection boils at the back of the train, fomented by a proletariat in perpetual motion, “Snowpiercer” also becomes a police procedural. A stylish production as well, though one does have to make concessions—this “Snowpiercer” is nothing like the original, nor could it be—as well as leaps of faith and suspensions of disbelief."

Wall Street JournalWall Street Journal

"For those who stumble across “Snowpiercer” while flipping channels, or learn of its existence from a few online advertisements, it might offer enough silly fun to stick with ’til the end. For everyone else, adjust your expectations now. Sometimes, it’s best to travel light."

IndieWireIndieWire

"For fans of the Snowpiercer film or Jacques Lob and Jean-Marc Rochette’s graphic novel, this will be familiar territory, along with the conflict between the tail section of the train and the indifferent millionaires and billionaires that make up first class."

A.V. ClubA.V. Club

"It doesn’t stay with you the way that Bong’s Snowpiercer did, but where the film was so eager to tear through the train to root out the truth, the show savors the details of life onboard, dissecting personal compromises and minor rebellions."
