    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 format that seem to fill the 'airwaves'.

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    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.

    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.
