This is hardcore espionage with a mainstream sheen, headlined by a rock solid star of the genre. After 10 minutes, it will become the best thing on the streaming service alongside Jon Bernthal in American Gigolo, or anything at all with Patrick Stewart. Audiences will begin to mourn the passing of each episode, as it becomes apparent that their time with John Weir is dwindling.
-
Unlike 24, where all the stupid stuff happened because that show chewed up ideas like a threshing machine – Rabbit Hole seems to be doing all this purely for fun. There is an unmistakeable lightness here amid all the disaster.
-
A dense conspiracy thriller that manages to find humor in its patchwork of illusion. ... Making a welcome return to save-the-world TV, 24's Kiefer Sutherland broods antiheroically. [27 Mar - 9 Apr 2023, p.4]
-
With all of the twists and reveals in “Rabbit Hole,” these guys have set an awful hard pace for themselves for the remaining episodes, and it could be a challenge to keep the story’s momentum. ... For now though, it’s worth enjoying the ride.
-
Rabbit Hole’s efficacy comes down to a mastery of essential components: A sharp script, focused execution, and a well-picked cast led by Sutherland’s commanding and charismatic protagonist.
-
“Rabbit Hole” is one of those shows where nobody is being completely honest with one another and when someone says, “Can I trust you?,” you wonder why they bother asking. Of course no one can be trusted! That’s part of the fun.
-
It’s more polished and more complicated than the typical entry, and crucially, it’s funnier, with a sense of humor that ranges from reasonably subtle verbal and visual jokes to outright slapstick. Weir is solidly inside Kiefer Sutherland’s somewhat limited wheelhouse.
-
It's not a program that veers very far stylistically from a typical network series (one on CBS, say), but it is certainly more adult, as well as more unsettling.
-
It has to keep light on its feet, but, if you stop to think about it for a moment, its shortcomings may become too much to overlook. If Rabbit Hole can maintain the balance between its silly thrills and a no-frills story, its goofy pleasures have the potential to only grow more fun.
-
It’s more of an “enjoy as you go” thrill ride. The four main performances are terrific.

Apr 5, 2023The first episode was great and drew you in. Sadly the show plummeted into a realm of farce. A miss for me
