Don't miss the opportunity to dive into the mesmerizing world of "Rabbit Hole" and experience a true television masterpiece.

For many movies the audience needs to be in the mood for it. For example watching John Wick, you don't want to write a review "2 stars because none of this would be real", sometimes you just have to take yes for an answer and be entertained. Normally this would be a 7 because of some plot and contrivance issues but Charles Dance makes it an 8 for me. You see the writers did pay attention to small details and they tell a story bit by bit in a way to keep you interested. I'm 4 episodes in but leaving a review because I think this show deserves more attention. The characters are not stupid (except for Hailey in the beginning which comes off as a simpleton femcel but improves and the actress playing her does a great job adding layers to her)

There are at times when the plot becomes too elaborate and esoteric but it's still very entertaining.

This is a very well crafted, complicated and sophisticated story. There are many bumps and turns, and a lot of the time you are left wondering what is going on. All is explained, in a somewhat non-linear way. There are many flashbacks that do not immediately make sense, but do if you pay attention and give the story time to evolve. Everything gets wrapped nicely by the end. But getting there takes a bit of effort.

Strong cast. My only gripe being that Kiefer Sutherland whispers his lines a little too much and unnecessarily so. But what starts out as a strangely grouped of characters moves nicely to a point where there is chemistry. It works well.

This is not a show where you can watch the first couple of episodes and decide. You need to invest and see it through to the end. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

This is a solid Sutherland suspense. Is it 24, no, but it is very very good. So why did I title this "Don't Watch"? Because after getting involved in an on-going series, I find out that it wont be on-going. Paramount+ has cancelled the series. Why bother watching it because obviously the resolution at the end, isn't the resolution. You get left hanging with no hope of finding out what happened. I absolutely hate when a network does this to viewers. If I had known this would be another one of those cancelled shows where you never get to see what happened, like Manifest, I wouldn't have taken the time of a 8 shows series.

There are some inconsistencies and improbabilities, and it can be confusing at times, BUT it's entertaining just the same. The story itself is loosely reminiscent of Three Days of the Condor where are wondering if things are the way you think they are. The acting is great, and I've yet to see Kiefer Sutherland in anything I didn't enjoy. It's got a great cast with good chemistry, and some good dry humor to go along with the excitement. However, I still couldn't help but miss Kiefer's father, in one of the roles. I have to believe he was either busy, or wasn't interested in doing another series.

If you can allow some of that confusion to bounce off of you, I highly recommend it.
