Critics Consensus

Elegantly plated but over-seasoned with grit, Black Rabbit's unrelenting edginess can be off-putting but Jason Bateman and Jude Law's committed performances make for a satiating enough meal.

Every time I’d find myself drawn in by how well-presented the whole affair seemed, I’d be struck by a turn in the narrative, or an excess scene.

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 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.

While much of Black Rabbit’s allure lies in its after-dark aesthetic and fractured narrative designed for maximum intrigue, it’s a trio of central performances that really draw you in.

82/100

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.

After getting through the first few episodes, I ended up binge-watching the rest. Excellent performances from Jason Bateman and Jude Law in Black Rabbit.

It was a really good show. There were a few things I wish were different but still really good.

I enjoyed the series. One of those I liked but didn't love. Definitely an interesting character study of two brothers. You never really like either one... Jason Bateman was stealing all the scenes from Jude Law.

Slow, predictable, and no characters to root for.
