Rabbit Hole

I'm okay with some shows releasing one episode on a weekly basis, but this show is not one of them. After watching the first two episodes, I wanted the whole sha-bang.

Right here, right now!

The acting is great, the writing is excellent, the pace is fantastic, and the story is amazing. I couldn't take my eyes off of my tv. I mean, I couldn't because if I did, I would have missed too many things.

My only fear with this show is that it may write itself into a corner. A lot of times shows with this many moving parts, such as Manifest or Lost, seem really cool at the beginning, but end up going nowhere.

I have high hopes for this show. For one, it doesn't deal with the paranormal. For two, this show doesn't take itself too seriously, as evidenced by the way the writers let the other characters make fun of main character John Weir and his extreme paranoia. Well, John, I've got good news and bad news for you. The good news: You're not paranoid. The bad news: Everybody really IS out to get you.

I admit I went into this with rather low expectations given the general lack of buzz around this show and the way that Keifer's last couple of shows (Designated Survivor, Touch) started off strong and then went completely off the rails after a few episodes. With a tight 8 episode run, though, Rabbit Hole, in its first (maybe only?) season, managed to keep up the intrigue and be thoroughly entertaining throughout. Were there some implausibilities along the way? Of course. But nothing that led to a major eye roll or that would cause me not to recommend this show. If you're looking for a fun, fast paced thriller, then you should definitely check this show out.

This is a solid Sutherland suspense. Is it 24, no, but it is very very good. So why did I title this "Don't Watch"? Because after getting involved in an on-going series, I find out that it wont be on-going. Paramount+ has cancelled the series. Why bother watching it because obviously the resolution at the end, isn't the resolution. You get left hanging with no hope of finding out what happened. I absolutely hate when a network does this to viewers. If I had known this would be another one of those cancelled shows where you never get to see what happened, like Manifest, I wouldn't have taken the time of a 8 shows series.

Skillfully blended classic spy-thriller tropes with modern-day concerns about surveillance, data privacy, and digital manipulation. The result is a gripping, fast-paced show that keeps you guessing right up to the final episode.

A sinister conspiracy where reality is constantly shifting. As the story unfolds, you are plunged into a world of deception, and unpredictable twists. The series taps into timely issues like mass surveillance, deepfakes, and misinformation, adding a chilling relevance to its suspenseful plot.

It is sharp written and relentless pacing. The dialogue is intelligent, the twists are cleverly executed, and the cinematography is sleek without being over-stylized.

While the plot can be complex and requires close attention, this never becomes a drawback. On the contrary, the layered storytelling rewards you who are willing to dive in and follow the clues. Rabbit Hole isn't just entertaining - it's thought-provoking, challenging our understanding of truth, control, and perception in the digital age.

Rabbit Hole is a smart, stylish, and suspenseful series that stands out in the crowded field of thrillers. With strong performances, a compelling story, and timely themes, it's a must-watch for fans of cerebral espionage dramas. It's a shame they didn't go for a season 2, but who knows?

This is a very well crafted, complicated and sophisticated story. There are many bumps and turns, and a lot of the time you are left wondering what is going on. All is explained, in a somewhat non-linear way. There are many flashbacks that do not immediately make sense, but do if you pay attention and give the story time to evolve. Everything gets wrapped nicely by the end. But getting there takes a bit of effort.

Strong cast. My only gripe being that Kiefer Sutherland whispers his lines a little too much and unnecessarily so. But what starts out as a strangely grouped of characters moves nicely to a point where there is chemistry. It works well.

This is not a show where you can watch the first couple of episodes and decide. You need to invest and see it through to the end. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
