Bad Influencer is thoroughly enjoyable and arresting. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider Nov 3
Bad Influencer doesn’t take itself seriously all the time, which is refreshing for a show that is mostly about counterfeiting and organized crime. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
It’s like the writers thought that critiquing con artists masquerading as influencers wouldn’t be enough and then went into full Breaking Bad mode, thereby obliterating any room for nuanced discussion. Go to Full Review

Kwedjatey T @Goldbrix Jan 10 Wasn’t sure at first but this show is dope! All the leads are fantastic. A great mix of silly, sexy and serious. Really appreciate the way the tone pivots. See more Julee G @RT01013567 Dec 2 I thought it was a great series. Possibly a bit tongue in cheek some scenes are hilarious, some sad, and some just great. Actors all brilliant. See more Meagan R @RT22163186 Nov 30 Acting, cinematography, setting, and the premise are all pretty compelling and well done. Where Bad Influencer falls short is in the plausibility. Main character gets held at gunpoint, proceeds to use the perpetrator as a resource. Then she sees a guy kill someone and proceeds to go into business with him, gets herself in even further, lets him take her out. The main character is portrayed as someone who has no other choice but to carouse with criminals, yet she chooses again and again to engage; goes to a club and physically fights a woman who betrayed her early on. It’s all just a little implausible. See more Love A @RT57676920 Nov 29 I absolutely loved it!!! It leaves you at the edge of your seat, while also pulling on your heart strings . 10/10 hands down !!! See more Sello T @RT05039640 Nov 28 Has so much potential but they just cut corners. Some parts of the shows are so unrealistic and doesn’t make sense why they added that. The actors are great but storyline is horrible easy to predict. See more Grayson S @Gs8628 Nov 25 The show lacked realism but the two female leads were amazing which makes it a fun watch.
