Intense, thrilling, and surprisingly strong from beginning to end, Black Rabbit is worth the chase all to get to an ending that reminds us just how good Jason Bateman, Jude Law, and Troy Kotsur can be.

Full Review | Original Score: 82/100 | Oct 26, 2025

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 15, 2025

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.

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.

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]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 6, 2025

The writing could have been tighter [...] but if you’re okay with watching repulsive characters make one bad decision after the other, and spending hours with Jude Law’s gorgeous face, then Black Rabbit is the show for you.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 6, 2025

The form of the series is really interesting. Obviously the series is very well acted, it has a great cast, but between Bateman and Law, they deserve all the applause. [Full review in Spanish]

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.

...[Black Rabbit is] a series that doesn't fully tap into this potential, but still delivers on its purpose. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 3, 2025

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 30, 2025

The compelling duo of Bateman and Law play off each other well in this tense, fast-paced, dark crime thriller.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2025

Led by two outstanding performances from Jude Law and Jason Bateman, Black Rabbit is an indie thriller expanded to a mini-series length, and it will be a show you will binge without pausing until you get to the very end.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 26, 2025

Between Bateman’s dirtbaggy, persuasive, career-best performance, Law’s weary precision, the suffocating direction, and Bensi and Jurriaans’ unforgettable score, “Black Rabbit” stands as one of Netflix’s most striking originals in recent memory...

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 25, 2025

It’s stressful television, and it isn’t enjoyable in a traditional sense, but it’s irresistible once it builds momentum. That’s the model: one obstacle leads to two more, a spiral of dread designed to mimic the experience of crushing debt.

Full Review | Sep 24, 2025

While actor/director Jason Bateman was able to juggle financial disaster, family crises and ethical/moral dilemmas for four 'Ozark' seasons, it doesn't work here. You don't care about these miserably dysfunctional, co-dependent brothers or their subplots.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 24, 2025

Ultimately, the pros do outweigh the cons, making Black Rabbit a solid thriller carried by a strong cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 24, 2025

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.

Full Review | Sep 21, 2025

Black Rabbit has the same kind of edge that made Jason Bateman's Ozark so popular, delving into hard criminality barely hidden by upper-middle class lifestyles, with an added dose of the physical nastiness that used to be the preserve of slasher movies...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2025

With each episode over an hour long, 'Black Rabbit' makes for a dull watch and by the time we get to its messy and miserable ending, it leaves you feeling quite drained.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 20, 2025

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.
