Review of Reprisal

Reprisal (2019)
7/10
loads of style
3 June 2021
Katherine Harlow (Abigail Spencer) is left for dead by her murderous brother Burt Harlow, leader of the Banished Brawlers. Years later, she re-emerges as Doris Quinn as she seeks her revenge. Matty (Rhys Wakefield) leads a trio working for the Brawlers. Meredith (Madison Davenport) is a schemer working the strip bar.

This is lots of style. It's super pulpy. I can't quite call it style over substance. There is some substance here but it's moving at a slower pace. That's why it seems like the style is lapping the substance. It would also be helpful for Katherine's story to be cleaner at the beginning. She doesn't need as much back story as she has. She just needs to be a B out of hell. The only back story she needs is the opening where she's left to die. The first couple of episodes are a bit too confused. All in all, I love the style. I do wish the substance to move faster but the style compensates for that.
