Scott Tobias New York Times 05/08/2018
"The Punch" exposes the volatility of both marriages, and suggests it as a natural consequence of individual aggression and power. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins Observer 05/08/2018
But it's just as possible that our current lack of insight, which this episode did not lessen, will make a split impossible to care about. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 05/07/2018
4/5
Again, the casting department deserves a special award. Go to Full Review Comfortably Smug Decider 06/20/2018
While not as strong as the previous episode, "The Punch" did shift its focus from Axe the hedge fund manager to Axe the family man, so there wasn't as much opportunity for the show to dig into the nitty gritty details on finance. Go to Full Review Alec Bojalad Den of Geek 05/07/2018
The Punch is baffling... just baffling. There is almost not a single moment that logically leads to another moment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
