Overview
- All eight episodes of Ride or Die were released on Prime Video on July 15, and critics have given the series broadly positive notices, with reporting showing roughly a mid-90s score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Reviewers consistently single out the chemistry and performances of Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham as the show’s chief strength while noting some plotting and pacing weaknesses in the middle episodes.
- The series was created by Tessa Coates, show-run by Matt Miller, and directed in its opening by Peyton Reed, with production and stunt work filmed on location in Prague.
- Hannah Waddingham performed many of her own stunts and called the physical work demanding, a detail critics used to praise the show’s stunt choreography and action sequences.
- Ride or Die ends on a narrative cliffhanger that leaves key questions unresolved, and Prime Video has not publicly renewed the show, with outlets reporting the streamer is evaluating early viewership and Top 10 performance before deciding on a second season.
