The disappearance of a college student from a small town in New Jersey begins a series of events that forever changes the life of town Sheriff Harold Jensen. The investigation takes the officer into the neighboring mountains, where a federally unrecognized Native American tribe makes its home. Jensen eventually comes into contact with dangerous ex-con and tribe member Phillip Kopus, whose return to the college town raises suspicions and threatens to disrupt the peace. After a tragedy and cover-up further divides the town and the tribe, Kopus takes advantage, forcing Jensen to compromise his principles or risk destroying his family.

Based on the first few episodes, it may be a path worth traveling down. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 03/03/2014
If The Red Road had stronger writing, then the series would have been significantly more compelling. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 03/03/2014
The show tells you covertly a lot about the characters, building them up through bits of behavior and stray remarks that can seem contradictory at first but do start to cohere into something more complex. Go to Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago 07/02/2018
While The Red Road is gorgeous to look at, and the ideas behind it can be intriguing, it gets mired in attempts to string out what little plot is there over a six episode first season. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune 03/03/2014
Jason Momoa is going to surprise you in the engaging new SundanceTV drama The Red Road. Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 03/03/2014

There's such a richness of story and character here, and the visual and sound people do some great work cranking up the creep factor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Idris M @Idrismo Feb 22 If you like poor character development, utter disconnect, and dreadful script - this is the right show for you! It has popped up again lately owing to Jason's fame - but it is a dreadful watch! See more Treasa F @RT30323485 11/25/2024 This was an excellent series and I was thoroughly pissed to the max after season two just ended with no closure!!!!!! See more 09/03/2021 I am extremely sad that this series didn't get more than 12 episodes to tell it's story. It wasn't finished and, I miss it! LOVE, LOVE LOVED IT!! It was well written, well acted and kept the surprises coming. This was one of Momoa's finest performances!! Modern, understated, emotional and so much going on under the surface. Kopus played by anyone else wouldn't have been so layered. The depth of the character... Momoa and Henderson did a great job of blurring the lines of good and bad. Outstanding cast both familiar faces and newcomers! Sundance should have had the balls to support the genius they had and finished telling the story! See more 06/14/2021 the Red Road was so good we watched all 12 episodes this weekend at the end of season 2 with a cliff hanger ending they cancelled season 3, that was a big mistake I believe the fans deserve a proper ending. But the show it self was great I give it 5 stars more if you had more to give. See more 09/13/2019 The first episode was just ok but the 2nd drew me in. I couldn't wait every night to watch it. Second season was even better. I wish they would bring it back. There is so much more story to tell!! See more 09/09/2019 It was great. Please bring back. See more Read all reviews
