Roxana Hadadi

It’s a riveting and devastating ride, anchored by some of the most mercurial performances you’ll see on TV this year. Tumbling into the Friedkins’ shadowy burrow can be harrowing at times, but it’s a fall worth taking when you have Vince and Jake waiting at the bottom. Read full review

Well-crafted thriller, and a reminder of just how good an actor — and director — Bateman is. Read full review

The Times Tim Glanfield

Sep 17, 2025

Netflix has been searching for a dark crime drama to rival Ozark since it ended in 2022 and while this can’t quite match the Byrde family’s messy life in Missouri, bringing Bateman back into the fold has helped it pull a fine new (black) rabbit out of the hat. Read full review

Sep 18, 2025

Sep 8, 2025

Given the robust talent behind “Black Rabbit,” it’s a shame their diligent work is in service of such a hollow, joyless venture. Read full review

"Rabbit," about a pair of brothers − one a perennial failure and the other a slick success − comes off as a dull, literally dark slog into a poorly explicated criminal underworld. Read full review
