Chloe: Season 1 - TV Reviews (2024)

Nonetheless, viewers will excuse the whiff of unreality because they won't be able to help caring about Becky: why she's on this quest, what she's getting from it.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2023

[Doherty gives] a stunning performance -- a rare skill to make this potentially one-note villain, something far deeper, nuanced and potentially sympathetic.

Full Review | Jun 29, 2022

Chloe struggles to transcend its rather uninspired central theme: that there is a gulf between one’s real and online life. Nearly 20 years on from the emergence of social media, it is a message slightly too self-evident to build a whole drama around.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 29, 2022

Chloe is an intriguing tangle of lies and obsession, a well-made striptease of a show that slowly reveals all over six episodes of cringey psychological suspense.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jun 29, 2022

Instead of diving into the trite subject of sociopathic behavior, like Inventing Anna or Dirty John, Chloe finds depth, authenticity, and even compassion in its profile of a scammer.

Full Review | Jun 29, 2022

Chloe is a series of misdirections, shattered genre expectations, and an unraveling mystery that heads into the deep dark of interpersonal relationships.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 28, 2022

What’s so different about a drama that pokes around in the fake lives that are presented on Instagram? Well, the tone bristles with the kind of grim, acid humour that Killing Eve had in its early seasons.

Full Review | Jun 27, 2022

Because of key performances from Doherty, Hall and Bennett-Warner, Chloe goes from a predictable stalking tale to an entertaining thriller that may take some unexpected turns.

Full Review | Jun 27, 2022

Against a wave of similar shows that luxuriate in the lies, each incremental step away from the truth in “Chloe” carries a real, sobering weight with it.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jun 27, 2022

So disturbing it will scare you off social media...

Full Review | Jun 24, 2022

Chloe is a smart, subtle thriller about friendship and identity in the social media age. Actress Erin Doherty is stellar as Becky, a multifaceted character who is petty and selfish, as well as dogged and loyal.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 24, 2022

With a sharply-written script, nuanced direction, and deft acting, particularly on the part of Doherty, Chloe is a study in modern social dynamics and their psychological impacts as much as it is a ravishing mystery.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jun 24, 2022

Becky is deeply unlikeable, she’s a puzzle; what outrages will she put in play to soothe her aching psyche. Oh, and did I mention she leaves her mother [with advanced dementia] alone and in danger while she’s out gallivanting and scheming?... Sweet girl.

'Ingrid Goes West' meets 'The Girl on the Train,' with entertaining results.

Full Review | Jun 24, 2022

Remarkably good, Erin Doherty captures the full range of emotions experienced by her character.

Full Review | Jun 24, 2022

[Erin Doherty] is simultaneously creepy and sympathetic, and endlessly entertaining as she conducts her cons with great flair.

Full Review | Jun 23, 2022

The premise may not be totally original and the plot occasionally daft but Chloe feels crisp and new and Doherty is like a breath of fresh air.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2022

While it often strained credibility, this was intriguing stuff with a star-making turn from Doherty.

The writer is Alice Seabright, and if I were her I’d be thanking God for Erin Doherty. "Thank you, God, for Erin Doherty,’ I’d be saying, morning, noon and night."

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2022

If you haven’t seen it yet, let me just say that I think this may be the first time social media and its attendant ills have been fully and convincingly incorporated into a TV drama, and that Doherty is indeed the real thing.
