Black Rabbit

It's an Amazing show And I will definitely be watching again. From the first episode, Ican already tell it's going to be fantastic

It’s intriguing but I’m not getting much brotherly vibe from the leads. Bateman is the more convincing of the two although Law tries hard to be the slightly more responsible older brother. The comedic moments just seem like more tragedy and you just want the trauma to be over.

The series starts strong, setting up a murky world where family, business, and crime collide. It has all the ingredients **** thriller: tension, betrayal, and characters trapped in moral dilemmas. However, as it moves forward, it feels like the wrapping is more powerful than the story it’s actually telling.Jason Bateman and Jude Law carry much of the weight with intense performances, and visually the production is impeccable, with that prestige-drama look Netflix aims for. But beneath the polished surface, it often feels hollow, as if the story circles around without fully biting into its own potential.There are, of course, highlights — gripping moments and a finale that leaves its mark. The problem lies in the journey: some episodes drag on and dilute the initial **** the end, Black Rabbit stands as an attractive thriller with shiny packaging and solid acting, but one that doesn’t quite push its premise as far as it could. It’s entertaining, engaging in parts, but ultimately leaves you wishing for more.

Honestly - I'm not sure why I gave this even a '3' rating? Perhaps there is some story in this convoluted mess? We typically like Jason Bateman but he's much better in 'light' movies than more serious (Ozark aside which degraded the last season or two)... This is the same Jason Bateman with long hair and a beard. He is meant to be the problem brother but we're never given any kind of back story that meshes. I think there is some backstory to both characters but it certainly isn't flushed out in the first 2 episodes which is I could stand. The flow of the show is a complete mess. The characters aren't 'baked' at all (half-baked would be an improvement). I just don't care about any of it. Beyond the tepid acting (Law and Bateman are complicit), I have to lay much of the blame on Bateman's directing. When the show is a complete mess the director has to take the blame. Basically we get a show with all style and no substance. Just a thin thread tying cliche' after cliche' together. ... bummer

Started off very promising, but episode 2 features some of if not THE most illogical gambling in screen history. Durrrp imma double down with 15 cuz durrrrpity durp dooo. Yeah check please.
