Overview
- Hulu will premiere Furious on Monday, July 27, with three episodes available at launch and new episodes released each Monday through August 31.
- The eight-episode limited series follows FBI agent Alice Black, played by Emmy Rossum who is also an executive producer, as she pursues a chameleon-like female killer played by Lola Petticrew.
- Early critical response published July 22–24 is largely positive, praising the writing, tonal control, and the show’s willingness to center survivor experience rather than treat violence as spectacle.
- Reviewers single out the performances of Rossum and Petticrew and note formal choices — frequent shifts between investigator and killer perspectives and stylized color work — that heighten the moral and psychological mirror between the two women.
- Creator Elizabeth Meriwether frames Furious as a modern, loose take on the 1987 film Black Widow and critics place it alongside recent work that interrogates how media depicts sexual violence and revenge, a conversation the weekly release schedule is likely to amplify.
