Christoph Waltz Is at His Creepy Best in 'The Consultant'

Prime Video lists its new show, The Consultant, starring Christoph Waltz, as a dark comedy, but we aren't finding much funny about it at all, to be honest. Two-time Academy Award winner, Waltz has never been creepier, and the laughs are few and far between in this dark portrait of a mysterious consultant who shows up one day to replace the violently gunned down CEO and founder of Comp Ware, a Los Angeles-based gaming app company. You may have thought Waltz was at his creepiest in his 2009 breakout role as German SS Officer Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. But, in fact, you probably still haven't seen the actor more bizarrely twisted and sinister than in The Consultant. This Waltz character brings some seriously cringe-worthy moments in a rare foray onto the small screen.
