Critics Consensus

Elegantly plated but over-seasoned with grit, Black Rabbit's unrelenting edginess can be off-putting but Jason Bateman and Jude Law's committed performances make for a satiating enough meal.

What's Alan Watching? (Ghost.io)

You can see the outline of a series that more successfully blends The Bear with whatever crime show you prefer. The brothers, though, are such a drag that the rest of Black Rabbit can't overcome them.

The Nightly (AU)

Black Rabbit is not a bad show. It’s even sometimes a good show, especially as the series deepens its core relationship in the back half of its eight-episode run.

Roxana Hadadi

New York Magazine/Vulture

Rabbit’s core is the relationship between restaurant owner Jake and gambling and heroin addict Vince, two men who constantly disappoint and protect each other, and the unexpected richness of the Law-Bateman pairing complements and elevates everything.

Black Rabbit is a feverish ride through the cyclone of brotherhood that sucks in everyone in a vortex of chaos. When taken as a whole, the limited series does have a lot to enjoy, but it makes you work for that enjoyment.

Rated: 3.5/5

Barbara Ellen

Observer (UK)

The promise of such moments makes you wonder if Black Rabbit could have made a fine, sharply edited film, instead of what it is: a sluggish, bloated series that fails to rise above its star power.

Martín Fernández Cruz

La Nación (Argentina)

Black Rabbit works perfectly until it falls into the cliché that plagues so many current series: unnecessary windows suddenly open, subplots that might as well not exist. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Two complicated brothers who you will either love, envy or hate depending on the episode. No, this isn't high art like HBO's "Task," but it's a highly entertaining crime drama led by Jude Law and Jason Batemen at the top of their game.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This series is excellent. Do not trust the critics score. Jason Bateman and Jude Law deliver stellar performances.

Ive always been a fan of Jason Bateman(especially when he appears in a more serious and darker role) as well as anything set in New York City. Episode 6 and 7 were awesome but the ending didn't work for me.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Put down your phones, friends. This isn't a 'stare at my phone while watching Netflix' kind of show. It has twists and turns which require your undivided attention. Pay no mind to the ratings from the people who clearly didn't watch every detail of the show. Jude Law and Jason Bateman are a great duo and the character development is superb. You have so many questions that build during the duration of the series which all get answered by the end. It's worth the patience, time and attention.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
