Critic Reviews

Screen Rant Grant Hermanns

Though Wood may not entirely overcome some of the rockier bits of his vision, particularly some story threads that are abandoned or thrown in, he has still put together a truly sumptuous treat with Malice. Read full review

It’s a great ride, and Whitehall acquits himself well in his first lead dramatic role, even if he is better at oblique menace than delivering straightforwardly murderous speeches. Duchovny is as skilled, nimble and charismatic as ever. Read full review

Even in the extraordinary situations they portray, even when I didn’t buy a plot point or a development felt too convenient, I rarely felt that characters weren’t speaking as people do — or psychopaths, who are people too. Read full review

The Independent Patrick Smith

Nov 14, 2025

This has the feel of one of those daft US imports shown on E4 about a decade ago: shiny and overblown in the same mould as, say, Revenge. Read full review

Joel Keller

Nov 14, 2025

While we liked the performances of Whitehall, Duchovny and van Houten, Malice really doesn’t give the viewers much in the way of dramatic momentum in the first episode, and the show doesn’t know whether it wants to be funny or scary. Read full review

Neither Duchovny or Whitehall, who mostly works as a comedian, deepen their characters beyond “callous rich guy” or “vindictive psychopath.” From performances to plot, much of “Malice” feels like it’s on autopilot. Watching it feels much the same. Read full review

i Tilly Pearce

Nov 14, 2025

The story moves at a snail’s pace with clunky dialogue and a complete lack of the suspense needed to make a thriller work. Plots come and go without conclusion, and – worst of all – it’s boring. The acting is just the nail in the coffin. Read full review
