As “Reprisal” hurtled toward its end, I was legitimately uncertain as to who would live and who would die. It’s also rare for a show like this to work both in its large and small beats. Read full review

If only the narrative were up to the task of meeting the show’s witty and elastic visuals. Strip away the window dressing, and there’s not a lot of heart or complexity to Reprisal’s attempt to turn the wronged-woman trope into a broader universe capable of sustaining itself for multiple seasons. ... Still, it’s engaging in a pulpy, soapy way, fun despite its messy structure and slippery consistency. Read full review

Through seven episodes of its 10-episode first season, Reprisal is a fascinating and audacious series, absolutely a work of some vision. It's also questionably paced, only sporadically involving and, as interesting as its women are, its male characters are a bland and interchangeable blob of facial hair and tattoos and, in that capacity, steal the spotlight all too frequently.

Reprisal would be a lot of fun if it were 100 minutes long. Unfortunately, it's 10 episodes, some of which are fully an hour long. Reprisal suffers from the same problem so many shows in the Peak TV era do: Not enough story to justify the runtime. Read full review

If you like the combination of violent action, sentimental fantasy, literary pretension and periodic slapstick humor that “Reprisal” offers, you may enjoy it well enough. Or you may wish you were watching something with the energy of “Banshee,” the clammy atmosphere of “Quarry” or the charm of “Hap and Leonard.” Read full review

The publicists for Hulu's new revenge drama Reprisal's describe it as "hyper-noir." Actually, it's more an object lesson in how those two terms can't be used together. Film noir is darkly underlit, a creature of the shadows. Its dialogue is cynical but clever. Though its sexuality may be frenzied, it's about seduction, not rape. "Hyper" implies the opposite: Garish. Extreme. Grating. Which is actually a fairly good description of Reprisal. Throw in "charmless" and "crude" and you've pretty much painted the whole picture.

Aims at a clever pitch-darkness. It more often lands on a sort of congenital sourness, one that grows choking at the series’s hour-long episode lengths. It’s an unfortunate miss for series star Abigail Spencer, an appealing performer who deserves a showcase that presses her in service of fewer neonoir clichés. Read full review

A little uneven and the pacing drags a little at times but a refreshingly different show with a varied and appealing cast of characters. A series with a clear and defined sense of its own style and certainly far better than the majority of dialed-in, bland retreads of the same old formatA little uneven and the pacing drags a little at times but a refreshingly different show with a varied and appealing cast of characters. A series with a clear and defined sense of its own style and certainly far better than the majority of dialed-in, bland retreads of the same old format that seem to fill the 'airwaves'.… Expand

If it weren't for Abigail Spencer, I wouldn't have bothered, but I fell hopelessly in love with her in Rectify. She alone makes this watchable and it plays like an episodic version of Bad Night at the El Royal (which I did not care for). Good show to fill a hole.

Terrible writing. Very corny direction. Pretty incredible all this money was wasted by creative decisions makers who don’t know what is good or can’t execute, or both.
