Critic Reviews for Get Shorty: Season 1
All Critics (24) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (18) | Rotten (6)
A show that works in moments-you can't get a cast this talented together and not produce some interesting moments-but never develops a rhythm.
In short, a lot is very right with Get Shorty, which may well come calling again during next year's awards season.
The dark humor and bursts of bloody action will satisfy some viewers, but the pacing is so leisurely and the characters are such sad sacks that Get Shorty can feel like a chore.
The Epix series is a dark comedy told at the length of a traditional drama. That it works as all three is why it works at all: This Get Shorty isn't like the others.
Get Shorty on the whole feels like it's trying too hard to balance the darkness and whimsy of the story, and to extend it across a whole season.
This series is as fun as it is brutal and as charming as it is revolting. That makes it a killer of a new series.
