Pramit Chatterjee of Digital Mafia Talkies gave the series 5/5 stars, declaring that “Parasyte: The Grey is a significant expansion of Iwaaki Hitoshi’s manga and a relevant work of art that serves as a commentary on the times we live in. Dustin Rowles of Pajiba called it “fun, cheesy, B-movie-style escapism” and said, “Director Yeon Sang-ho (of Train to Busan fame) delivers six episodes simultaneously packed with gory creature designs and fight scenes that will have you cringing and rooting for them. Stephen Nguyen Skyff of IGN said, “It offers meaty action and some clever deviations to complement the terrifying live-action portrayals of the titular monsters, but the characterization never reaches the same heights as the original.Carla Monfort of Espinoff wrote that the film was “an entertaining and intriguing sci-fi thriller.”

Parasyte The Grey Story
A group of mysterious parasitic creatures fall from space and begin to use humans as hosts, killing them and transforming them into unique creatures that can change their heads into anything.
A police force called “The Grey” is created, led by Choi Jun-kyung. They protect society from the attacks of the parasites and completely block the attacks from the news and social media. Jun-kyung’s husband was one of the original parasites. As parasites can sense their own kind, she now holds him captive as a hunting dog trapped under a mask to alert her team when a parasite is nearby.
Parasyte The Grey Review
As someone who has already seen the Japanese live-action version, I can say that this one is far better than the original, with a plot that will captivate and scare you with some of the best, scariest and goriest scenes. The parasites were so sadistic, yet so realistic, that you would never know they were made with VFX editing unless you saw the making of the show or behind-the-scenes footage. Speaking of which, with all due respect to the staff involved, the whole editing process took years. Also, I can say that the author was very smart in creating a new story instead of adapting the manga itself. Nevertheless, the show is known for its unique combination of sci-fi and Horror themes.
The Japanese manga adaptation has become a highlight of Korean television thanks to its compelling storytelling and impressive visual effects. The symbiotic relationship between the protagonist and the parasite adds depth to the story, reminiscent of works like Venom (which we’ve seen before), but with its own unique twist.
