    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.

    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.

    A little uneven and the pacing drags a little at times but a refreshingly different show with a varied and appealing cast of characters. AA 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'. Full Review »

    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 watchableIf 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. Full Review »
