In many ways, it feels like we're only beginning to scratch the surface of what "The Abandons" has to offer. But as long as Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey are involved, audiences can expect fireworks.

It's easy to imagine a more entertaining version of The Abandons where Headey and Anderson really get to cook, but here they're just battling against unmemorable material.

It’s not a bad premise—or a fresh one, save for the diversity of the good guys. .... Their [Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson's] performances are so large and earnest and melodramatic—Mam in a broad Irish brogue, Constance with a pinched malevolence—that two actresses of their stature, never mind talent, would certainly have caught a whiff of the ham in the air. That said, the rest of the cast is solid. .... But it certainly moves along, powered by Mr. Sutter’s sense of narrative abundance.

With episodes that often run closer to 30 minutes than 60, an under-developed premise and a finale that ends the season so abruptly I had to double check there weren’t more chapters on the way, “The Abandons” is a frustrating, incomplete take on a compelling premise.
Dec 4, 2025
The Abandons is never particularly bad, but it’s confusingly spare, rushed and vaguely shoddy, as if the final product was, in some way, gutted of its most potentially distinctive elements.
Dec 4, 2025
Viewers could have been patient with a show this lethargic if it paid off, but this Western just cuts to black in a way that will likely leave them more furious than excited about a follow-up.
Dec 5, 2025
It’s almost worth watching as a sicko-mode voyeur, since the series is so disjointed and elliptical that it approaches anomaly and spectacle. But for viewers seeking entertainment, The Abandons makes it too easy to, well, abandon it.
