Hit & Run

If the new Netflix drama Hit & Run were a Disneyland ride, it would be the Mad Tea Party. It offers a lot of narrative spinning and whiplash, and some viewers will be happy to be dizzied by it.For a while, I was completely engaged by the show’s aggressive spinning.

Whatever momentum Hit & Run builds in the early episodes — and it builds a tremendous amount — basically dissipates due to increasingly dumb narrative developments, two closing episodes of relentless exposition and an ending that would have been shallow and exploitative even if a different Netflix show hadn’t recently utilized the exact same cliffhanger.The international thriller hails from Fauda creators Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz, plus The illing and FlashForward veterans Dawn Prestwich and Nicole Yorkin.

It’s a traffic accident that the grief-stricken Segev is left trying to make sense of, but what if it wasn’t an accident? And what if Segev isn’t just an unassuming Tel Aviv tour guide? What if he has a very particular set of skills that he’s about to employ on a jaunt over to New York City in search of the truth, with the help of strung-out buddy Ron (Gal Toren) and old flame Naomi (Sanaa Lathan), now a journalist?
