What to Know

Critics Consensus

Unapologetically amoral and headlined by an unnerving Adrian Pasdar, Profit pays off handsomely as outrageous entertainment.

Subversively riveting, superbly cast and directed, and unlike anything we really had seen before. Go to Full Review James Endrst New York Times 08/02/2019
Profit offers all sorts of kitschy fun in the overkill style of Melrose Place, and that's meant in the best kind of way. Go to Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club 08/02/2019
Mainstream America wasn't ready to embrace a bloodless manipulator with a raging Oedipal complex. But it sure was glorious while it lasted. Go to Full Review Will Harris Bullz-Eye.com 08/02/2019

It's the glee with which Profit performs his dirty deeds that what makes the show so wonderful. Go to Full Review Dan Devine PopMatters 08/02/2019
Great stories always keep the audience wanting more; Profit gave the audience everything it wanted in the first episode, then failed to come up with anything of interest to bring them back. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel E 09/16/2024 Almost 30y ears later and it still shines bright both in remembrance and in reviewing - I am VERY short on ability to purchase even food, but purchasing what little exists of this show has been worth it to watch and enjoy once again. See more 12/02/2019 Unfortunately, this show only produced one season. But these eight episodes shine as some of the best of tv. The show is a mix of American Psycho and Wall Street and was way ahead of its time. Adrian Pasdar's stellar antihero performance elevates the show to a level much like the Sopranos and Dexter. Highly recommend giving it a watch. See more Read all reviews
