Season 1 Review:
It still moves in fits and starts, but each of the first five episodes improves on the last, and as the show focuses more on the strength of its breakneck storytelling, it’s becoming not just the best reason to try Crackle, but one of the more promising new streaming series of the year.

Season 1 Review:
Some limp decisions make it feel more like a Models Inc. reboot with fewer models, more Bit coin. But it's worth watching just for Edi Gathegi, who bring star-making charisma and unwarranted pathos to the role of a criminal who (sigh) wants to go straight. [9 Sep 2016, p.55]
