Overview

• Netflix's eight-episode Black Rabbit stars Jude Law and Jason Bateman as estranged brothers whose reunion at a Manhattan restaurant-club draws them into criminal trouble.
• Reviews note a long-standing gambling debt—reported at about $144,000—and pressure from loan shark Joe Mancuso as the key catalyst for the plot.
• Co-creators Zach Baylin and Kate Susman say the show was built as a closed miniseries with no plans for a second season, and the production dismantled the restaurant set after filming.
• Critics praise the lead performances, taut direction from Bateman, Laura Linney and other directors, and a striking score by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
• Some reviews flag a bleak tone, uneven pacing in the middle episodes, and thinly drawn supporting characters.
