Furious Premieres With 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score Across 2 Episodes

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jul 27

Summary

  • More than a dozen critics gave “Furious” a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score as the crime series debuted Sunday with a two-episode launch on Hulu and Disney+.
  • Emmy Rossum stars as an FBI agent who goes undercover to track a female serial killer targeting lonely millionaires, a premise the report says is still rare in the genre.
  • The eight-episode series was created by Elizabeth Meriwether and draws inspiration from the 1987 film “Black Widow,” rather than a real-life case.
  • That early reception stands out because several recent shows have hit 100% with fewer reviews, giving “Furious” a stronger opening signal as it shifts to weekly releases.
