In 1886, Sigmund Freud is far from a household name in psychology. While attending an aristocratic party in Vienna, Freud participates in a séance, and supernatural, criminal, social, and political forces collide as a conspiracy at the highest echelons of Austrian society threaten Freud's career and life.
The Daily Beast by Nick Schager
It’s neither scientifically accurate nor remotely believable, but it is an entertainingly gonzo saga of suspense and intrigue—regardless of what Freud might say about viewers’ desire for such trashy stuff.
Decider by Joel Keller
The first episode of Freud is a bit confusing, but if you put the real Sigmund Freud out of your mind, you should be able to buckle in and enjoy the ride on this psychological thriller.
The A.V. Club by Danette Chavez
The season midpoint does little to clarify the medical cases from the murder mysteries and political intrigue, and confusion reigns over the ending. Even the question of Freud’s capabilities as a psychiatrist/psychoanalyst remains unresolved. You could argue that the series offers subtle commentary on the elevation of mediocre men to mythical status, but sometimes, a poorly executed vision is just a poorly executed vision.
The Guardian by Adrian Horton
The main show is the slurp of creepy, disturbing manifestations of repressed psyches coalescing into, by the later episodes, a nonsensical yet amusing horror show.
