All 8 episodes of ‘exceptional’ thriller finally dropping on streamer for free
A free UK streaming platform is just days away from adding a twisty thriller that has been described as one of the ‘best’ examples of the genre.
On May 11, crime drama Rabbit Hole will be available to binge-watch on ITV’s streamer ITVX.
It follows 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland, 58, as John Weir, a master of deception in the world of corporate espionage, who is framed for murder by powerful forces who can influence and control populations.
Alongside The Lost Boys star, the gripping eight-part series features an impressive cast including Charles Dance, Meta Golding, Enid Graham, Jason Butler Harner, Walt Klink and Rob Yang.
On Google, viewers have described Rabbit Hole as ‘intense, twisty and very well acted’ and urged others to add it to their watch lists.
Among them is Kirstie Gray, who wrote: ‘It’s been a while since I’ve watched something that’s been so gripping, instantly drawn in spinning my own theories, all of which were wrong LOL! Definitely, one of the best shows I’ve watched, the curveballs are so well written and you never see them coming, and you’re just like woahhhh! Just watched the season finale, one word…Brilliant! I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish, and had to physically shift forward in my chair whilst I watched it play out.’
Echoing their sentiment, Ronald Hee shared: ‘One of the best things I’ve watched this year. It’s like watching a season of 24; intense, twisty, very well acted. A twist in nearly every episode, so rabbit hole is accurate! Towards the end, you feel like the lead, completely uncertain of what is real. The chemistry between the two leads is very good, feels real. Solid supporting cast too.’
Debbie Russell also added: ‘This is one of the best shows of its type. It drew me in with the 1st episode. The only other series that was this good is “The Old Man” with Jeff Bridges. The writing is unique & exceptional. Every episode brings unexpected revelations. I’m watching it as it airs 1 week at a time, & I hate waiting for another week. I’m also a huge fan of Kiefer Sutherland & Charles Dance. I gave this 5 stars because it’s that good. Highly recommend this one.’
Rabbit Hole originally ran on Paramount Plus in 2023. Months after its final episode, it was cancelled after one season as part of the streamer’s cost-cutting measures.
However, speaking about the thriller’s new home on ITVX, Sasha Breslau, head of content acquisitions at ITV, said: ‘Kiefer Sutherland is magnetic as the lead in this addictive and tense thriller. Rabbit Hole is a perfect fit for the kind of premium drama our audiences expect from ITVX.’
If you can’t wait until Rabbit Hole drops on ITVX, you can binge-watch ‘high-octane’ thriller Safe Harbor now.
It stars Game of Thrones actors Alfie Allen and Jack Gleeson, as well as Peaky Blinders’ Charlie Murphy, Hell on Wheels actor Colm Meaney and Maxima star Martijn Lakemeier.
Inspired by true events, Safe Harbor follows gifted hacker Tobias (Alfie) and his best friend Marco (Martijn) as they try to crack into the tech billionaires club.
They’re plucked from obscurity and plunged into the chaos of organised crime when they come across an Irish gang lead by Sloane (Charlie) and her brother Farrell (Jack).
The pair are enlisted to hack into the security of Europe’s largest shipping port in Rotterdam harbour to secure undetected deliveries of drug shipments.
On IMDB, kathrinstoffenstein raved:‘I really love the show. Mainly dialogue driven, but the action pieces are really impressive! ‘The first half of episode one left me wondering where it was going. But from that point onward I was completely hooked. The show is ambitious and has great action.’
Echoing their sentiment, William said: ‘I’m really enjoying this show and I’m on the edge of my seat. This coming from someone who is very critical of TV shows and is very hard to convince to start watching something.’
Rabbit Hole is coming to ITVX on May 11.
