In this drama series, a glamorous female deals with dangerous challenges and paths in her life. She is a relentless woman leading a revenge campaign against a gang as she plots to take revenge on the gang she is trying to kill. That woman faces a real struggle against these more dangerous gangs, even though she decides to sacrifice more for revenge.
Were the show only the women, Reprisal would improve by leaps and bounds. Rodrigo Santoro and Gilbert Owuor, as Brawler leaders, and Mena Massoud, as a new errand boy, are mournful and placid afterthoughts, respectively.
Spencer is, unsurprisingly, fantastic in the lead role. Her portrayal of a woman whose rage simmers under the surface of every aspect of her life even as she maintains a veneer of stoic calm is both deft and occasionally shocking.
Aims at a clever pitch-darkness. It more often lands on a sort of congenital sourness, one that grows choking at the series's hour-long episode lengths.
Reprisal would be a lot of fun if it were 100 minutes. Unfortunately, it's 10 episodes, some of which are fully an hour long. Reprisal suffers from the same problem so many shows in the Peak TV era do: Not enough story to justify the runtime.
