What to Know

Critics Consensus

Solid performances and a fast pace move Reprisal along, but its style over substance approach is all pulp, little juice.

It's just one layer of gonzo showboating on top of the next, a house of cards that topples whenever it leans too hard into small human drama it hasn't earned. Go to Full Review
Mike Hale New York Times 12/09/2019
"Reprisal" isn't really noir, though. It doesn't have the style or the romance or the fatalism. It's an example - fairly diverting, but never entirely satisfying - of another currently popular television genre: the fairy tale of aggrieved American manhood Go to Full Review
Daniel D'Addario Variety 12/05/2019
Aims at a clever pitch-darkness. It more often lands on a sort of congenital sourness, one that grows choking at the series's hour-long episode lengths. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
With your usual shows slowing down for the mid-season break, "Reprisal" is an entertaining show to binge during the upcoming winter break. Go to Full Review

3/5
Reprisal has the potential to overcome those issues, but it needs to flesh out its two-dimensional characters and find more actual substance within its many stylish choices. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Noir City 03/06/2020
The out-of-time iconography, decades-straddling style, and anywhere USA setting (it's shot in North Carolina) invite the audience to relish Reprisal's pulp ethos and appreciate the twists and turns of the ride as Doris unleashes chaos. Go to Full Review

Saturn T @TsunamiSaturn Jan 7 I LOVED this show and it sucks it never got the shine it deserved. I always think about rewatching it and I think tonight might be the night. So unfair that it only got 1 season See more Christopher W 02/09/2025 I absolutely love this show. I can't count how many times I would just start it over once I hit the end. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I would say my favorite crew was the 3 river phenix. I wish they had more episodes definitely worth delving into over and over again. See more Shea B 06/24/2024 One of the best show's I've seen in a while, loved Rhys and David!! See more 05/05/2022 Gritty, compelling...what's wrong with Hulu's decision makers? Only one season?! Don't be Netflix! See more Jason L @JL4952 01/24/2022 This show had such potential, but winds up falling flat with the ridiculous alt-reality world it creates that is just so annoyingly dumb. A rotary dial car phone in the glove box... WHY?!? One of many fails. Abigail Spencer is so good in this; she should be doing more. See more 12/29/2021 One of the best shows on Hulu. Just finished season 1 and disappointed to learn season 2 was cancelled. There was a lot left in the tank on this one. Just enough action and drama to keep it interesting all while being presented in a stylistic fashion similar to Quentin Tarantino's movies. I never was bored at all while watching the 10 episodes. Just very disappointing that we don't get to see what happens next in this wonderful show. See more Read all reviews
