"Black Rabbit starts to show its seams a bit here, mainly in terms of episode count and series runtime. Much of what plays out in this shorter-than-average episode feels stretched past its welcome to fill out an order for eight episodes that might have been a tighter, more artful five or six. Not a great thing to already be feeling at the halfway mark, but everyone involved gets ample opportunity"
""Good morning, can you shake off your skin? I was strugglin' to tell you where I have been."Amyl and the Sniffers' "You Should Not Be Doing That" queues us into a cold, sepia-gray morning in New York. As much as I love hearing what might be my favorite song from the past few years, it indicates one of these unnecessarily expensive soundtracks that come off like an algorithmic Spotify playlist haphazardly thrown over a block of Netflix "content""
The series exhibits pacing problems tied to an eight-episode runtime that makes some episodes feel stretched and less artful than a shorter season would allow. Strong performances and confident direction provide quality even when plot beats linger. The soundtrack choices sometimes feel overwrought and playlist-like, though individual directorial moments—such as a single-shot reveal of a vandalized gallery—stand out. Character dynamics accelerate, with Vince flush from a scam-driven payout and impulsively promising repayment to a criminal contact. Gen senses danger in her father’s sudden largesse. The narrative moves toward swift, punitive outcomes for several characters.
