Following his arrest, Danny catches the attention of interrogator Rya Goodwin (Seyfried), who conducts a series of one-on-one interviews with him in the hopes of unearthing the truth behind the crime. Loosely inspired by Daniel Keyes’ 1981 nonfiction novel The Minds of Billy Milligan, The Crowded Room picks up with its lead, Danny Sullivan (Holland), after he is arrested for participating in a public shooting that leaves three people injured. The problem is that it’s buried under 6 hours’ worth of unnecessary filler. There’s an intriguing, well-acted series in The Crowded Room. Even when the series has reached some of its most moving and compelling moments - most of which occur in its final few installments - it dampens their impact with “twists” that not only come across as frustratingly hokey, but also seem to exist solely to justify The Crowded Room’s overlong 10-hour runtime. Unfortunately, these kinds of miscalculations are present in all of The Crowded Room’s 10 episodes. When it’s later revealed that not everything is as it seemed in the show’s first half, it’s hard not to realize in the same breath just how much more interesting The Crowded Room could have been if it had simpy played it straight from the very beginning. In doing so, the new Apple TV+ series leaves its two immensely capable leads, Amanda Seyfried and Tom Holland, stranded with nothing to do but be vessels for The Crowded Room’s endless exposition dumps.

It has a twist, which it drags out for nearly six hours. Throughout the first half of its 10-episode season, The Crowded Room does not have a story.
