The Bear” infused with the atmosphere and style of a crime thriller akin to “Uncut Gems” — constructing the narrative around two siblings rather than a loud, fractured family.
The 8-part series “Black Rabbit,” brought to life by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, currently holds the top spot as the #1 Netflix TV title in the U.S. (according to the daily Top 10 ranking available in the app), featuring two brothers: a charming and successful restaurant proprietor portrayed by Jude Law and his self-destructive, wayward sibling played by Jason Bateman (who bears a resemblance to what a down-and-out Marty Byrde may have evolved into). The logline, as stated by Netflix: “When the proprietor of the trendiest eatery in New York permits his troubled brother to rejoin the family business, he unwittingly reopens old wounds and invites new threats that jeopardize all they’ve created.”
The series, which premiered on Netflix just prior to the weekend, boasts a 76% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes after quickly ascending to #1 on the streaming platform. Overall, a promising launch for a fresh crime narrative set against the vibrant backdrop of the nightlife in an insomniac city.
