Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin. When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.

3/5
Ride or Die is very efficient in terms of its own hit list: bouncy, well-acted and entertaining, the show doesn’t transcend its assorted genres but instead happily plays with them. Go to Full Review Jared Richards The Age (Australia) 1d
3/5
Fun if not predictable, this eight-part buddy action-comedy is buoyed by one very smart script decision: It never gets in the way of its lead duo, [actors Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer]. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 5d
Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer teaming up for an action series may not have been on your 2026 bingo card, but Ride or Die is also the laugh you didn’t know you needed. Go to Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 5h
Waddingham and Spencer make it work better than it should by making their characters feel truly human despite all the antics at play. Go to Full Review Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies 1d

It’s overly familiar, but not to a point of holding the audience in contempt or delivering something cheap. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sharon W @Shany482 40m This was a lot of fun. It's the definition of a popcorn series but one that is well put together and not brainless. Octavia S and Hannah W had great chemistry as friends. There was some nice scenery. There some fun action. And there were laughs. See more michele B @Michelekay 44m Loved this fun ride. Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham have great chemistry. Action packed. Highly recommend See more Megan B @Meggie793 7h This is usually not my type of show but it’s breezy and a lot of fun with a great cast. See more Ramzi S @ramzishatara 17h It’s everything you want this kind of show to be and more See more Nicole S @RT60816367 19h Honestly, I loved Ride or Die so much! I’ve been a big fan of Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham for a while, so just seeing the two of them on screen together was such a treat. The show nails that sweet spot, you get plenty of great action, but it also captures all the real highs and lows of a friendship. It’s full of heart, loyalty, and actual love. I’m already planning on watching it again! See more D P @Danni101 19h This is what I needed rn. Finally a show that’s centered around friendship. The last few episodes had enough interesting twist and turns to keep the plot going. Hope for another season that’s just as smart, warm, and funny. See more Read all reviews
