What to Know

Critics Consensus

Severely lacking narrative momentum, this latest eat-the-rich caper only manages to strand its audience at sea with Malice.

2.5/4
Still, this six-episode series, while being essentially indistinguishable from so many others of its ilk, goes above its own pay grade when Jamie starts smelling a rat likely living in his posh London digs now. That’s when the series kicks into high gear. Go to Full Review
Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times Nov 20
Since it’s clear from the title what sort of show this is, the mind goes to a number of reasonable suppositions, and though the particulars are saved for the finale, the generalities are made clear enough early on. Go to Full Review

4/5
...the underdog-bringing-down-the-wealthy story is great fun, and although there are few likeable characters, Duchovny and Whitehall are terrific, and at just six episodes it’s classic binge viewing. Go to Full Review
Grant Hermanns Screen Rant Nov 25
8/10
Led by four-time Emmy nominee David Duchovny as Jamie and Jungle Cruise's Jack Whitehall as Adam, Malice proves to be one of the most effective takes on the family infiltrator genre yet, and that's largely down to just how much of a slow burn it is. Go to Full Review

5/10
It's a watchable series that fulfills its premise, but it treads familiar ground, already explored with greater clarity and power by other recent productions.[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

3/5
Beautifully shot and full of twists, this series reaches for gripping and intense drama, but its underwritten characters render the emotional impact toothless. Go to Full Review

Blas B 2d Ending was to abrupt. See more Maxine K 2d What a bitter disappointment So many holes in the storyline it’s utterly ridiculous in parts. The guy manages to drag a body into the street in the middle of London no ring doorbells? Even his sister has a ring on her apartment Loads of this didn’t make sense. Truly frustrating The policeman didn’t notice banging in the boot of the car .. just no Don’t get me started on the ending I’m literally fuming 🤣 See more Graham W 2d We really enjoyed this series binged watched it Beautifully shot in great locations Jack Whitehall was great spoiler (new villain emerged here) David Duchovny also played the role well See more Eli Z 3d A super creepy tutor sabotages a wealthy family for unknown reasons throughout the first 5 episodes. It was very uncomfortable but I stuck with it in hopes that the ending would make the journey worth the effort. Unfortunately, when the motive for the elaborate revenge was revealed in the finale, it was weak and the ending was even more unsatisfying. Justice was not served; all the characters lost, including the audience. Save yourself the disappointment. See more Ranee M 3d Too dark for my taste. In this day and age, I don't like to see people going for revenge the way this character does because it hits too close to home. The only redeeming thing about it was that when Adam got on the boat in the end after exacting his revenge, it was clear that it didn't make him happy. See more Marc F 4d The good: Great acting all around. David Duchovny is always fun to watch. Started off with an interesting premise, beautiful scenery, and enough mystery to keep you guessing. Got even better as the series went on. The bad: One of the most terrible and unsatisfying endings I've ever seen on a show. Made me really annoyed that I had watched all 6 episodes. I was already recommending the show to others, but have to call them all now and put an asterisk beside my review!@# See more Read all reviews
