B
It’s a classic second episode, exploring the early ramifications of the first episode, filling in details, and introducing new subplots with little context. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias New York Magazine/Vulture Jun 5
3/5
There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Max Cady of this Cape Fear, and the slow drip-drip-drip of revelations about his past is something that a ten-episode miniseries can afford to tease out a little bit. Go to Full Review Michael Peyton IGN Movies Jun 8
8/10
A colorful, foreboding thriller that serves as a serviceable update to the well-loved 1991 film. Go to Full Review Paul Dailly TV Fanatic Jun 5
3.75/5
It’s safe to say that I’m invested in Cape Fear so far. It really didn’t take its foot off the gas throughout the first two episodes, and I hope things slow down a bit so the storylines can breathe in the coming episodes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
