The thriller *Black Rabbit*, starring Jason Bateman and Jude Law, has quickly become popular on UK Netflix. The show is set in the fast-paced world of New York City nightlife and follows the complicated lives of brothers Jake and Vince Friedken, who own the Black Rabbit restaurant and club.
I’m really worried because when Vince went back to New York to see Jake, things immediately started going wrong. It feels like everything they’ve worked so hard to create is now in danger, and I’m on the edge of my seat to see what happens next!
A talented chef and restaurant owner finds himself pulled into the dangerous world of New York crime when his unpredictable brother comes back to town owing a lot of money to some very dangerous people.

Zach Baylin’s new series, *Black Rabbit*, has quickly become popular on Netflix, currently ranking as the second most-watched show in the UK.
The show is a hit with audiences, but critics are divided. It currently has a 64% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 reviews.
Original Cin praised *Black Rabbit* as a gripping and well-constructed thriller with compelling characters. They noted it feels like a gritty New York crime drama, but also successfully explores the personal lives of those involved.

According to *The Daily Beast*, the story is a compelling tale of devotion and downfall, made even better by outstanding performances from Jason Bateman and Jude Law.
According to *The Times*, the story occasionally stretches believability, but strong performances from Jude Law and Jason Bateman, combined with a polished presentation, make it easy to overlook any flaws.
According to Slate, the show doesn’t live up to its own hype. Despite trying to feel authentic, its lack of variation over eight hours becomes draining and ultimately feels unconvincing.
To truly captivate viewers, stories like this need an audience willing to watch the main characters’ descent into chaos. According to *Variety*, this eight-episode show fails to achieve that.
Black Rabbit is now streaming on Netflix.
