Black Rabbit Reviews: Critics Are Saying Netflix’s New Thriller Is Your Next Binge-Watch
If you’re a fan of a fast-paced thriller full of unpredictable twists and turns, Netflix has something you might want to check out this weekend.
On Thursday morning, the streaming giant premiered its new series Black Rabbit, which centres around two brothers who are reunited after an estrangement.

Jude Law plays one of the men, a successful New York nightclub owner whose life is turned upside down when his chaotic brother, portrayed by Jason Bateman, strolls back into his life, with chaos in his wake.
Reviews of the show so far have been pretty positive, with critics predicting big viewing figures for Black Rabbit, and even some (though, admittedly, not all!) of the less enthusiastic assessments still pointing out that the show is likely to make for binge-friendly viewing.
Here’s a selection of what the critics are saying about Black Rabbit so far…
“Pick of the week […] It’s snappy, fast-talking trash but with an undercurrent of fraternal tenderness that lends it a dimension beyond the generic.”

“Black Rabbit is worth watching for its stylish direction, propulsive pace that mitigates some of the narrative wheel-spinning, and most of all Law and Bateman’s brilliantly cast brother act. But technical polish and the faithful execution of genre conventions alone can’t elevate a show beyond competence.”
“There are parts of Black Rabbit that I appreciated, from a ground-level New York City vitality to a searing supporting performance from Troy Kotsur to a two-episode conclusion that’s effectively tense, right up until a soggy ending that left me convinced the series has no awareness that its main characters aren’t antiheroes, they just suck in very conventionally clichéd ways.”

“Law and Bateman have the convincing physical shorthand of siblings, the little eyebrow raises and exasperated smirks that convey a lifetime spent loving and infuriating each other. That familiarity is the backbone of Black Rabbit, and it gives urgency and emotional weight to everything that comes after the brothers reunite.”
“The writing and the pacing of Black Rabbit during the appetiser portion of the program are solid enough that one will want to stick around for dessert, though there’s quite a bit of filler, too.”

“There’s always something happening, but it doesn’t always work. Everything is pitched at the same level of intensity, even if it’s obviously not as important or ends up not mattering. The runtimes are bloated, and some long scenes may have you eyeing the fast forward button… [but] the good news is that the show gets better as it goes on.”
“Although the series never feels like it could go anywhere, at least the inevitability instilled by its flash-forward opening quickly illustrates why you don’t have to keep hanging around.”
Black Rabbit is now streaming on Netflix.
Travis Kelce Shares Problem He Needs To ‘Figure Out’ Before Wedding Planning
Nearly a month after breaking the internet with their engagement announcement, Travis Kelce is teasing fans with a tiny peek into his upcoming nuptials with fiancé and superstar musician Taylor Swift.
During Wednesday’s episode of the New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs star was asked by guest Jimmy Fallon if he and Swift have started making wedding arrangements.

“Are you working on planning the wedding?” the late night talk show host asked. “Are you doing this now? Is that the next move?”
“Yeah, that’s the next step. That’s the next step,” Travis replied, prompting Fallon to tell him not to stress about wedding planning.
“That one’s gonna be easy. I just gotta figure out how to win a football game first,” the podcaster quipped. “It’ll be easy compared to trying to figure out how to fucking catch a goddamn football.”

Considering Swift is a global pop star, Fallon, who has been married to Nancy Juvonen since 2007, naturally asked if the couple have made plans to have a DJ or a band for their ceremony.
“Are you thinking about all this stuff?” Fallon questioned.

“Yeah, I think we’re live music kind of people, you know?” Travis replied of he and Swift.
Meanwhile, the Love Story singer has been hush-hush about the pair’s wedding plans. Although long before she became a bride-to-be, she previously shared how she would go about preparing for the big day.

“I want to build a life with someone that’s based on their dreams as well as my dreams,” she told Cosmopolitan in a 2012 interview. “I don’t want it to just be like, ‘So, I have a scrapbook. In it, I put all the fabric swatches of the wedding dress I’m going to wear. I also have a tuxedo I picked out of a catalog that you’ll wear.’”
The NFL star and Swift have been romantically linked since late 2023, and announced their engagement in an Aug. 26 Instagram post.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” the couple captioned the post alongside photos of their picturesque garden proposal.
