Mark Ruffalo may win an Emmy for his portrayal of damaged twin brothers, but HBO's miniseries 'I Know This Much Is True' is a depressing slog. Alan Sepinwall's review
has the unfortunate timing to come along in a moment when viewers likely have little to no appetite for additional suffering, even the fictional kind. But it’s hard to imagine this grim wallow — which mistakenly views trauma and drama as interchangeable — playing that much better even in a time of overwhelming peace and prosperity.
The sheer number of tragic things that happen to Dominick, Thomas, and their loved ones is at first bracing, then numbing, and eventually achieves self-parody. There’s a scene where contractor Dominick is painting a customer’s home and two awful events unfold in rapid succession, and all I could do was laugh. I didn’t feel good about it, but that’s how it felt.
