Too Old to Die Young: Miniseries

"Too Old To Die Young is macabre, and nauseating in many ways, but very well made and very watchable."

"A shimmering, menacing thrill."

"Brillant and tedious."

"This show is basically Andrei Tarkovsky's Narcos. What's not to like?"

"It’s... shoving cruelty in our faces for the sake of doing so."

"The series is addictive, in an unpleasant sort of way."

"Whatever one says about (Refn's) almost breathtaking self-indulgence, it’s impossible to deny his eye."

"The sense that you're watching something from an auteur who... believes he's slumming virtually emanates from your screen."

"An aesthetic so nonchalant that every murder and rape feels like a casual shrug..."

"The director's glib humour ripples across the slick, oily surface, and Cliff Martinez's electronic score is the perfect companion."

"Refn made his name with tense and gruesome crime films in his native Denmark; here he gets to luxuriate at length."

"Depraved yet delicious..."
