This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly a corny show. Most of what’s intended to land doesn’t land. Credit some of this horrible show to the writers, producers, directors ... they must not know what’s entertaining. All of it’s like a bad version of some Tarantino film or Sin City, both of which are very entertaining, artistic, and nail new school takes on noir. With Hulu having the amazing sense to put forth and support Ramy and Pen15, they laid one of the worst duds I’ve seen in a while. For example, Happy! also does a lot of comic booky violence in a kinda made up world, but we care about the characters more in that one. Reprisal has been compared to Banshee. I see the throwback, violent, over the top comparisons in some cases. But Reprisal consistently has characters do things that don’t make sense, like the main mole not just running away. The lead’s vernacular believability is like Vince Vaughn’s in True Detective 2. Sometimes interesting, usually fake as heck. The worst part is it’s such a wasted opportunity. You can tell tons of money was poured into this steaming pile. And some of the actors would’ve handled better material. Some people were poorly cast, but some were cast well. Expand
