I was blown away by just how bizarre it all was (in a good way, of course). ... It's that never-ending sense of enigma that makes The Consultant such a thoroughly enjoyable watch. You'll spend days trying to puzzle out the ending, piece together Regus' master plan (if he even has one), or even just trying to make up your mind about whether he's a villain or a hero.
Waltz isn’t “The Consultant’s” only asset, but everything beyond him feels like a bonus. Even with a few hiccups, watching him work is compensation enough to ensure that this Amazon series earns its stripes.

Had to binge watch the whole series. Surprising,refreshing,suspenseful and plenty of bizarre moments. I hope they make a second season. We kinda get a picture of what’s happening but a lot is left open for interpretation and that may be a good thing :)

great acting, nice weird story and mysteries and also funny moments, you want to know what happens next and keep watching. I watched it now 2 times and will watch it again.

SEASON 1
Although it seeks to be contemporary in its examination of workplace culture, The Consultant occasionally gets bogged down by incoherence. Heavy-handed symbolism and dramatic distractions muddy the waters on more than one occasion, marring an otherwise intelligent show.
Ultimately, it’s not a bad show because it’s never a boring show, but it also feels like it never quite clicks into its full potential.
Many questions. But all, I suspect, with answers, and not very complex ones at that. That – along with the spooky basement records room opened by a key with a giant brass keyring stamped “RECORDS”, and a decadent members-only nightclub that has transformed into generic office space by morning and assorted other hokum essentials – is what makes it fun, and perfectly, perfectly fine. As I said: no more, no less.
[Craig and Elaine's] chemistry is sound and they are the characters in whom we're invested. But even as the Patoff malignancy grows and the casualties mount, the stakes for our heroes remain low, making it unlikely that the audience will commit to the entire enterprise.
We never see an ordinary workday, and we have so little sense of the characters’ personal lives that any mention of them feels jarring. They seem to exist only as lenses through which to view the ensuing chaos, not least of which because the series fails to drum up a plausible reason for Craig and Elaine to stop shopping their résumés around and stay at CompWare. Viewers, luckily, are under no such obligation.
Christoph Waltz is amazing and brings a lot of tension to The Consultant and i strongly recommend giving it a watch on amazon prime video.
The series is based on a book so i'm unsure of the possibility of a season 2 as of yet as nothing has been said by amazon nor by MGM.
The series stays on course with staying true to most of the books concepts for the first few episodes then starts to rapidly deviate away from it from about episode 3 or so but not by very much.
Overall a very good binge watch and something to fill up about 4 or so hours of a slow evening.

Great Acting, Enjoyable to Watch, Like a Modern 8-Episode Outer Limits or Twilight Zone.
