Early reactions highlight sharp performances over a messy story.

Overview

  • Netflix released all eight episodes Thursday, April 9 in a global binge drop.
  • The series follows siblings Nicky, a pastor, and Morgan after a small theft pulls them into organized crime.
  • Levy positions the show as a darker, faster ride than Schitt’s Creek that still keeps family at its core.
  • Critics praise Levy and Taylor Ortega’s crackling sibling chemistry and Laurie Metcalf’s standout turn, while several reviews call the plotting cumbersome or thin.
  • The cast includes Abby Quinn, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum and Elizabeth Perkins, with Rachel Sennott credited as co-creator and Taylor Ortega stepping into the Morgan role after a reported casting change.
