When Marta Walraven's husband is killed during a mob drug-bust gone bad, her first instinct is to protect her children. Coming from a family of gangsters, she realizes that -- in order to do it -- she will need to cut ties with the mob completely. So she sets out to do just that and discovers an inner strength she never realized she had. Marta takes on gangsters and the FBI in her effort to uncover the truth about her husband's death, while relying on determination and family information to find a way to beat the bad guys at their own game so she can finally be free.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Red Widow boasts a strong cast, but its outlandish premise and lackluster execution keep it from being anything but middle-of-the-road.

It's not quite worth a blanket recommendation yet, but there's a promising focus to the show by the end of these two episodes, a sense that writers and cast have ideas worth exploring. Fingers crossed they'll get their chance. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 05/18/2020
[A] formula series trying desperately not to be a formula series. In the process, it's not very exciting. Or compelling. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 05/18/2020
"Red Widow" is plagued by sanctimony. It wants to have it all: a sympathetic soccer mom heroine suddenly willing and able to do business with murderous thugs. Go to Full Review Kelly West CinemaBlend 05/18/2020
There are layers to this plot, and that in itself gives the series some real potential. Go to Full Review Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger 02/06/2018

All in all, it would take some really engrossing characters, snappy dialogue and dynamic plotting to overcome the nonsensical premise, but those have mysteriously gone missing as well. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
