*In a sentence:* The rich men get what is coming to them, and the awkward part is how much we enjoyed watching it arrive

> A revenge thriller for the Epstein years, in which the serial killer is a woman and the victims had it coming. It opens as luridly as that sounds, then settles into something careful, well acted and two episodes too long.

## Synopsis

Alice Black (Emmy Rossum) is a woman who kills men, and the series does not pretend otherwise for long. Behind her is a history of abuse and trafficking among the very rich; ahead of her are the men who took part and the people who kept them safe. Nora Washington (Quincy Tyler Bernstine), a long-serving FBI agent with her own way of doing things, begins to see a pattern in the deaths. Lola Petticrew’s Catherine and Scoot McNairy’s Danny Kelly are drawn into Alice’s path from different directions, and the Easton family, played by Hope Davis, Peter McRobbie and Clark Moore, are among the people she encounters. Rob Delaney plays Oliver Charles. An eight-part crime drama, certificate 18.

## Review

*Furious* is a serial-killer drama in which the killer is a woman and the dead are the kind of men the Epstein case taught everyone to picture: rich, protected, surrounded by people paid to look away. Emmy Rossum plays Alice Black, who was one of the girls once and is now something else. The pitch is revenge, and for most of the first episode the series behaves like a pitch. Bodies, bare skin, a camera that stays a beat longer than it needs to. We were repelled, and not in the way the writers wanted. It looked too much like the thing it was against.

Then it slows down and starts to think, and from the second episode we were with it. The turn belongs largely to Quincy Tyler Bernstine as Nora Washington, an FBI veteran who is odd, unhurried and hard to read, and who is nearly always the cleverest person in any room she is put in. Bernstine plays her without a single tic that asks to be found endearing. Rossum, opposite her at a distance for most of the run, does the harder job: Alice has to be frightening and pitiable at the same time, and Rossum keeps both in the frame without letting either win.

Four directors share the eight episodes, Brian Kirk, Karena Evans, Cory Finley and Destiny Ekaragha, and four editors, Steve Welch, Ralph Jean-Pierre, Katie Ennis and Julie Kreinik, cut them. The look holds together better than that list suggests. Doug Emmett and Brian Lannin shoot the houses of the wealthy in flat, even light with nothing in shadow, so the crimes sit in plain view, which is the point. Chris Trujillo’s production design gives those houses acres of pale floor and very little on the walls. Ariel Marx scores it low and sparingly, mostly strings held under the dialogue, and has the good sense to go silent when Alice is working. Claire Parkinson’s costumes track Alice’s movement between worlds more clearly than the script sometimes does.

The supporting cast is the series’ quiet strength. Lola Petticrew’s Catherine gives the show what conscience it has, and her scenes are the ones that got at us most: a young woman working out, slowly, what was done to her and who knew. Scoot McNairy plays Danny Kelly as the tired, decent man he plays well, and does not waste it. Rob Delaney, cast a long way from comedy as Oliver Charles, is better than we expected and never asks for a laugh. Hope Davis and Peter McRobbie make the Eastons the sort of couple who mistake a good lawyer for a clear conscience.

The faults are the faults of the form. Eight episodes is too many, and the middle stretch repeats its shape: a man, a house, a reckoning, a scene of Nora catching up. The writers’ room, which includes Dan LeFranc and Elizabeth Meriwether, does not trust Alice’s silence and keeps having other characters say aloud what she must be feeling. Rossum has already shown us. And the first hour will lose viewers who would have liked the rest.

It sits in the line that runs from *Monster* through *Killing Eve*, dramas that ask us to keep company with a woman who kills, and it is more serious than the second and less searching than the first. Where it is new is the setting. The trafficking of girls to rich men is not a plot device here; it is the ground the whole series stands on, and it is treated with more care than the opening episode promised.

The 18 certificate is earned in the first hour and, after that, mostly by what the series asks you to think about. Give it two episodes. The first will put you off and the second will keep you up.

*Fi1m score 75, published 10 September 2026.*

## What the critics say

All eight reviews are positive, and the consensus is that Furious is a taut, grown-up thriller about female rage and the aftermath of abuse rather than an exercise in provocation. The praise clusters around the writing, which most critics find dense and confident, and above all the cast. Emmy Rossum and Lola Petticrew are named repeatedly for taking their characters beyond the usual trauma tropes, and The Hollywood Reporter singles out Quincy Tyler Bernstine as the FBI veteran Nora.

The spread is narrow, from good to strong, and the reservations are small. The Hollywood Reporter thinks the opening episodes lean on lurid sensationalism before the series settles. The AV Club finds the outcomes predictable, and Variety notes that the show carries the weight of its obvious real-world associations. Several critics call it grim, even chilling, and warn that it asks viewers to side with a killer; nobody treats that as a fault.

## Straight answers

**Is Furious worth watching?**

*Furious* is worth watching for anyone who can sit through a lurid first hour to reach the careful, well-acted revenge drama behind it, and we scored it 75. Emmy Rossum and Quincy Tyler Bernstine are the reasons to stay. Eight episodes is two too many, and the middle stretch repeats itself.

**Where can I watch Furious in Colombia?**

*Furious* is streaming on Disney+ in Colombia. Availability is checked daily; the links above go straight to each service.

**How violent or frightening is Furious, and is it suitable for children?**

*Furious* is an 18 certificate and earns it, chiefly in the first episode, which has bodies, bare skin and a camera that lingers longer than it should. It is not suitable for children, and the subject throughout is the abuse and trafficking of girls by rich men. After the opening hour the shock is mostly in what it asks you to think about.

**How does Furious compare to Sharp Objects?**

*Furious* is the more lurid and topical of the two, a revenge drama about trafficking among the very rich, while [*Sharp Objects*](https://film.one/tv/sharp-objects) is the quieter, more inward crime series, with the damage carried by its reporter rather than dealt out by a killer. Both run two episodes longer than they need. *Sharp Objects* is the better piece of work; *Furious* has the bolder subject and the more uneven first hour.

**What should I watch after Furious?**

After *Furious*, try [*Sharp Objects*](https://film.one/tv/sharp-objects) (2018, Fi1m 84): Amy Adams in a small-town crime series where the wounds are on the reporter. Then [*Top of the Lake*](https://film.one/tv/top-of-the-lake) (2013, Fi1m 82): Jane Campion’s detective series about girls, men and a town that looks away; and [*Elle*](https://film.one/film/elle) (2016, Fi1m 82): Verhoeven and Huppert take assault somewhere no thriller is supposed to go.
