Reviews

Icarus has generated a fair amount of discussion since its release. With an IMDb rating of 4.5/10, critiques highlight the show's intense narrative and interesting premise but note shortcomings in execution. According to a review on Metacritic, ‘Icarus brings forth an intriguing concept but falters in delivering depth, making it feel more like a missed opportunity than a triumph.’ Users on Rotten Tomatoes have echoed these sentiments, suggesting that while the performances, particularly by Tito Livas, are commendable, the dialogue often feels forced and the plot lacks cohesion. One user remarked, ‘The athletic drama lacked the punch needed to captivate its audience fully.’ On the other hand, some viewers appreciated the ambitious approach, with one IMDb reviewer stating, ‘The gritty portrayal of the sports world kept me intrigued, despite its flaws.’ Overall, while Icarus presents a captivating exploration of ambition and ethics in sports, critical consensus suggests that it struggles to fully realize its potential, appealing mainly to die-hard sports drama fans.
