    The second episode settles into itself and moves away some of the premiere's more egregious flaws, but it’s still a misfire, more content with being atrociously manipulative than using its characters and concept in a manner that feels remotely genuine or nuanced. Subtlety may not be the hallmark of Thursday night dramas, but there’s still a breaking point and “Rebel” hits it.

    Rebel is merely a boorish bore.

    Amazing finale, so sad to see it go still hoping another station or platform picks it up.

Rebel was fueled by a beautiful message and an outstanding performance from Katey Sagal. This was one of my favorite new shows of 2021 and an A+ season.

    I'm enjoying the show. Only 2 episodes so far but, as a fellow ardent defender of injustice, I can easily relate to this character! The castI'm enjoying the show. Only 2 episodes so far but, as a fellow ardent defender of injustice, I can easily relate to this character! The cast is well chosen and appear seamless in their relationships, bringing believability to their characters. We need more shows like these that will hopefully inspire viewers to stand up and make noise about what's wrong in this world, and fight the good fight! Full Review »

    Meh... will give it more episodes but so far it’s predictable and has some moderate humor.
