What to Know

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.

Wenlei Ma 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. Sep 21, 2025 Full Review 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. Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Tim Glanfield The Times (UK) We’re served up a story that sometimes flirts with the implausible, but add Law, Bateman and a glossy production and any rough edges can be forgiven. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2025 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Law, a powerful actor with considerable range, does heroic work... But the show's creators, Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, give him a premise that just doesn't work. That's largely due to one crucial bit of miscasting. Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Belen Prieto Espinof ...[Black Rabbit is] a series that doesn't fully tap into this potential, but still delivers on its purpose. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Oct 3, 2025 Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk The strength-in-depth cast, allied with powerfully atmospheric cinematography,...helps to stir up a powerful magnetic field, though the story feels like it’s running short of gas as it reaches its last couple of episodes. Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

T P Well acted but sloppy script. Too many plot holes to list. My eyes were tired from rolling. Wish it was better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Carly P This show is the definition of prestige television. The writing is sharp, the acting is phenomenal, and the production value feels closer to a feature film than a streaming series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Corey B This show is not just entertaining, it’s art. The way it’s shot, the way the story unfolds, and the performances are all at such a high level. Jason Bateman continues to prove he’s one of the best actors of his generation. Jude Law completely disappears into his role, bringing so much intensity. By the finale I was blown away by how everything came together. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Charlie E Rarely do shows balance suspense with emotion as well as Black Rabbit does. There are scenes that feel unbearably tense, followed by quiet moments that hit you emotionally. Bateman and Law carry the weight of the story, but the writing and atmosphere give them the perfect canvas to work on. The twists are smart and unpredictable without feeling cheap. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Frankie P Black Rabbit is the perfect example of how to make a limited series feel like one long, perfectly paced film. The writing never wastes a beat, the tension rises with every episode, and the performances are flawless. Jason Bateman proves again he belongs in the same category as the best dramatic actors working today. Jude Law matches him note for note, creating a dynamic that is both gripping and unsettling. This is a show you won’t forget anytime soon. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Mikey P The mix of suspense and character study makes it unique. It’s not just about the plot, it’s about the people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
