Critic Reviews

Thanks to a great turn as Fisher by Liev Schreiber and a briskly paced plot with enjoyable characters, it’s time well-spent. If it were a book, it’d be a page-turner.

Deathwatch definitely feels dialed into its video game and book franchise source material. But it also has a lot of style on its own, and a growly lead voice acting performance from Liev Schreiber, two factors that feed its freestanding quality.

In spite of a bumpy start and inconsistent animation, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch still proves a worthwhile enough adaptation to keep Netflix's success streak alive.

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is often a decently good-looking show, even though it and the aforementioned action scenes are spliced in with an international conspiracy story that's generic at best and hollow at worst.
