The drama series deals with an uncompromising female diary and is a glamorous female who leads a series of challenges in her life. That girl is trying to lead a revenge campaign against a dangerous gang, as she tries to take revenge on the gang who tried to kill her incredibly. Over time, that woman discovers that she needs to plan and arrange in order to fight these confrontations.
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.
