一直对此剧评价一般的Sean T. Collins在剧终那晚给《纽约时报》写的影评说:Of the show's three leads, Daniel Brühl was always given the most demanding and complicated material. His character, genial and insightful one minute, robotic and cruel the next, never really cohered, and neither did the performance. But the sight of Kreizler strolling in his trademark hat, or smiling politely as he interacts with others in his soft, accented voice, is endearing. 虽然他总忍不住要明贬暗损一番,但还是承认得到升华之后的Kreizler医生是惹人喜爱的。这恐怕也是Daniel对这个角色最大的贡献之一:他不会阻止你对Kreizler医生产生不满,观众尽可以怨恨医生对John和Sara的所作所为,绝不介意他跌至谷底,却也总是更乐意看到他再度振作,期盼他能得到治愈、收获圆满。这股牵引观众的力量,有一部分来自角色本身,但更多源于演员自己的特质,可意会而难言传。

一部好剧,是越琢磨越有味,越回顾越觉得看不够的。草草掠一遍,眼见到的是一件凶案;闲闲看一遍,知觉到的是多重冲突;细细品一遍,感受到的是几段悲欣交集的人生和一个包罗万象的世界。
