’s slick new action thriller, Sutherland takes up the mantle of a present-day Robin Hood: one who robs the rich with elevated psychology and predictive behavior in order to help the causes he cares about.
The pilot sets up this premise spectacularly, with plenty of special effects and street shots . Viewers quickly learn about Weir’s paranoid disposition and his traumatic past while setting him up as the skilled swindler you can’t help rooting for. Sure, this guy is a criminal, and has an FBI agent tailing him, but he’s got rules, so it’s OK.
When that sell gets hard, “Rabbit Hole” isn’t afraid to make fun of itself, either. There are plenty of quippy one-liners from Hailey , the woman roped into helping Weir figure out the truth, plus self-deprecating remarks by Weir himself. Those comedic bits of relief balance out the tension in the way you’d expect from a fun action-thriller, without feeling like too much of a wink.
That makes it an ideal streaming service entry, by the way. Paramount+ drops the first two episodes at premiere then follows a weekly release schedule, so viewers who want to see what happens next may set their timers each week. But so far, it’s also a worthy binge for those who’ll get to it later on.
