What to Know

Critics Consensus

While the jury is out on its weekly worthiness, The Catch largely yields satisfying results with tried-and-true Shondaland production qualities, fun cases of the week, and bendy plot twists.

If the playful pilot is any indication, the lineup's already established Thursday-night audience is in for a treat. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling TheWrap Jun 14, 2018
[The Catch] is a fun romp into unchartered territory that will allow them to escape their otherwise stressful lives for an hour. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang MTV Apr 12, 2016
By the end of the hour, [Alice is] grinning, her instincts to play and to win taking over. That makes her unflappable. As Rhimes might write, she is without flap. Go to Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Jul 11, 2018

The Catch is a soft-boiled sexy caper that, like most Shondaland productions, is plenty of fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Obadiah S @RT60351468 Mar 10, 2026 Watching the lead give chase in heels while discombobulated due to tainted fruit juice, but still able to locate the opposition provided my hard-stop moment. I suppose when you are used to Happy Valley, Line of Duty et al, the American conveyor belt of trash just doesn’t stop.
