Regardless of what additional horrors await them, watching this pair make their way through this stretch of it is TV at its most sublime. Go to Full Review David Segal New York Times 04/07/2020
It takes nerve and skill to tell a story as grueling as the one told in "Bagman"... The nerviest choice made by the writers is surely the one made at the end. There is no end. Go to Full Review Kevin Lever Tell-Tale TV 04/14/2020
