The whole thing may seem patently ludicrous but it’s done with distinct artistic finesse, set to a furious, insidious visual rhythm in it’s bold, decisive, and intuitive editing.
The first few episodes meander by, full of too-long dialogue and not enough action, while all the best moments are precise. ... Crisis gets better as it goes on, perhaps because a climax is not so different in film and television.

es una excelente serie, ademas que muestra una faceta de Miley mas madura y creciendo como actriz, Allen es un muy buen escritor-director, lastima que la serie tenga poca duracion

SEASON 1
Allen’s been doing this kind of humor for 50 years. It shows.
A lot of the qualities that still make Allen’s movies worth watching--especially his gift for crowding a bunch of actors into the frame and giving all of them something interesting to do--are present in Crisis in Six Scenes’ final episode. But the road to get there is so needlessly long, and so pointlessly convoluted, that many viewers will be forgiven for having abandoned it long ago.
The good news is that Crisis eventually gains a bit of traction in its stretch run, but it’s much too late by then.
Getting any mileage out of Miley and her Bernardine Dohrn-with-a-husky-voice character proves unrewarding. Most of Crisis is spent listening to Sidney and Kay dither about hearing aids, Freudian analyses, and one-liners that sound dusted off from Allen’s decades-old standup act.
Meandering, unfocused and unfunny. ... It's terrible. Don't waste your time.
Much like his movies, Woody Allen's first mini-series grapples with philosophical, social, and political issues that most TV shows are afraid to touch with a 10-foot pole. The writing feels very genuine and honest. The show made me reexamine my life and wonder if I have made the correct choices. If you want to watch something snarky, cynical, and negative, you have hundreds of other mind-numbing shows from which to choose.

SEASON 1
This is a slow burn story with a lot of redundant gabbing and little emotion. A few laughs, and pretty to look at, but Woody is past his prime here as a panicky, forgetful old man guided thru life by a grumbling but much more aware wife, and quirks that appear in the plot are totally far-fetched (sleep-walking scene, I need say no more). I generally can put up with a lot of this kind of thing from Allen and still find some redemption, but this is a bridge too far. My wife and I just turned it off out of boredom. Oddly, Miley Cyrus was the BEST thing about it... she was actually acting with some enthusiasm, in spite of the limited and repetitive lines written for her. The whole thing seems partially baked, I believe Woody just took the money and supplied a script written while HE was sleep walking.

SEASON 1
An incredibly frustrating mini-series that strains your ears and begs the dialogue to flow coherently. Unfortunately, the narrative suffocates itself in utterly stagnant and debilitatingly slow plot lines completely baffled amongst convoluted dialogue. Watching this series is like being inside the mind of a person suffering from alzheimers recalling a rapidly fleeting memory. It is a nonsensical, politically-driven, verbose attempt at a reflective and didactic series about the life we live in.
I can assure you this is a 'Woody' to avoid.
