What did critics say about Catch-22?
On Rotten Tomatoes, Catch-22 has an 84% positive score from 90 reviews.
I was so thrilled to read The Guardian’s review of the Catch-22 series! They said it’s a success on pretty much every level – the visuals are stunning, the writing is really smart and engaging, and the acting is just phenomenal. What really impressed me is they managed to adapt Joseph Heller’s novel, which people always said couldn’t be done, and even made some clever changes to the story and format. It’s amazing!
A reviewer for The Mail on Sunday said the work was never boring, and The Daily Telegraph described it as hilarious.
