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.

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. See more
