Muted

Critical reception for Muted was largely negative to mixed, with many reviewers panning the Netflix Spanish thriller for its logical inconsistencies, weak pacing, and frustrating narrative choices. A recurring point of criticism was the show's abandonment of its own core hook; multiple critics pointed out that despite the title and premise centered on a silent protagonist, the character talks almost immediately, causing the mystery to collapse like a house of cards.

Negative reviews were particularly harsh regarding the writing. Outlets like The Guardian and Ready Steady Cut described the series as a barely watchable mess full of gaping plot holes, filler, and unanswered questions that make the viewing experience frustrating rather than tense. Other critics noted that while the show attempted an ambitious exploration of human complexity, it ultimately failed to deliver on its potential.

However, a few reviewers offered more favorable assessments. Outlets such as Midgard Times and It's A Stampede! praised the series for its dark tone, suspenseful atmosphere, and ability to keep audience members on the edge of their seats, deeming it a solid entry for viewers who enjoy edgy crime thrillers.
