Season 1 Review:
Swamp Thing, at least in its first two episodes, not only ups the ante, it’s also a triumph on pretty much every level, a nasty, gleefully disturbing bit of body horror on the Louisiana bayou that evokes everything from John Carpenter‘s The Thing to executive-producer James Wan‘s work with the Trench in Aquaman. ... But the real miracle here is that Swamp Thing still manages to feel like a human show.

Season 1 Review:
Sometimes the plot can’t find its balance between silly schlock and seriousness. ... But even these tropey elements can’t bring down dialogue that knows when to alternate between breezy and sweltering or stop punchy jump scares from peppering its scenes with periodic spikes in blood pressure.

Season 1 Review:
The best elements of “Swamp Thing” feel deeply inspired by John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” and there are even a few flashes of icky body horror that brought the master of that, David Cronenberg, to mind. In between those visual flourishes is a show that would fit in fine on The CW, complete with flat dialogue and dull characters.

Magnificent series, mixes the horror genre with the comic genre, very good performances. A pity that there is no second season, it would have been great.

Swamp Thing was a great show and I was disappointed to see it only had 10 episodes. The acting was great, the special effects were top notch, and the story was intriguing. I hope the show gets picked up for another season so we can see more of Swamp Thing.

I started watching the show with an open mind, then all of sudden two females kiss...(black and white) whoa! in your face! just like that a train full of brain washing liberal propaganda cars that plagues so many shows runs through the Swamp Thing.
