Check out ‘The Bondsman’, the gripping, intriguing, and captivating new series featuring Kevin Bacon, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
In this eight-episode blend of action and horror, Kevin Bacon takes on the role of Hub Hallaron, a former bounty hunter who meets an untimely end but is resurrected by the Devil himself, seizing the opportunity to right wrongs in his second life.
As a devoted admirer, I find myself caught off guard by an intriguing turn of events: it seems that ‘Hub’ is tasked with the duty of returning escaped demons to their prison in Hell. If he manages to complete this mission, who knows what opportunities await him for a fresh start – a second chance at life, love, and the soulful tunes of country music.
Joining the cast are Jennifer Nettles, Beth Grant, and Damon Herriman. The supernatural series by Grainger David has arrived for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, sparking excitement among fans of the genre as they witness Brian Bacon’s struggles against the tormentors from the depths of Hell.
One ecstatic spectator raved about “The Bondsman” on X, saying it was gruesome, grizzled, and intoxicating: “It’s like a mix of ‘Brimstone’ and ‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead,’ and I couldn’t get enough. Kevin Bacon truly shone in his role. A captivating cocktail of nerve-wracking suspense, catastrophic mayhem, and pulse-pounding action – an absurdly enjoyable watch.
The show “Bondsman” has received mostly favorable comments from critics so far. It currently boasts an impressive 79% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 19 reviews, thanks to its gritty and action-packed style.

The Daily Beast
The film provides a perfect platform for the exceptionally charismatic Bacon, skillfully balancing humor and gore in a way that mirrors both the efficiency and unconventional vitality he displays in his role as Faust.
The Daily Telegraph
The essence of ‘The Bondsman’ implies a freedom to walk away if it doesn’t appeal to you. It’s a no-apologies, low-brow horror intended for enthusiasts who appreciate the genre and its conventions.
The Hollywood Reporter
The success of ‘The Bondsman’ by Amazon can largely be attributed to Kevin Bacon’s captivating and natural performance in the role of Hub Halloran.
Variety
Though Bacon manages to play the role of a likeable yet grungy ne’er-do-well convincingly, his charm alone isn’t sufficient to keep the entire story afloat. Initially, the narrative of “The Bondsman” is engaging, but unfortunately, Hub’s old truck soon runs out of fuel.
RogerEbert.com
Despite its apparent dedication to the horror genre as established by Blumhouse, it’s challenging for “The Bondsman” to portray its demon battles in an enjoyable and entertaining manner.
Geek Girl Authority
The Bondsman, much like The Evil Dead and with the wild, unapologetic style of Preacher and Peacemaker, raises the gore-filled horror to an extreme – a Buffy-style puzzle/quest taken to the max. Remarkably, its implementation is nearly flawless.
The Bondsman is streaming now on Prime Video.
