Tom Holland's "The Crowded Room" Fails to Launch Actor Outside Spider-Man's Shadow

  • Tom Holland, known for playing Spider-Man, stars in and produces the new Apple TV+ series "The Crowded Room."
  • Critics say the psychological thriller lacks dramatic momentum and takes too long to reach its destination.
  • Holland's performance is showy but does not make the most of his charisma and likability.
  • The series aims to portray dissociative identity disorder accurately but still relies on twisty storytelling.
  • While the performances are strong, the uninspired show pale in comparison to better crime thrillers.
