We don’t choose our family. Love them, hate them, they are our families, and we are stuck with them. Some of us are blessed with living, supportive ones; others not so much, and the rest fall somewhere in between. Black Rabbit is a story of brothers who fall somewhere in between. Jake (Jude Law) and Vince (Jason Bateman) Friedken grew up in New York, the sons of a loving mother and a violent father. In the wake of their father’s death, they spent their formative years hustling, with dreams of making it as a band and later, a high-end restaurant: the titular Black Rabbit.
At the series onset, the brothers are estranged, with Jake running the restaurant and Vince hustling on the West Coast. Vince gets in trouble and comes home, much to everyone’s chagrin, and everything begins to fall apart. It is what one might call a classic setup, and therein lies one of the series’ main issues. Despite some stellar performances, there isn’t much in Black Rabbitthat will surprise you. The story of a wayward relative returning home and their chaos spreading to the lives of those around them isn’t new, and this version of it isn’t particularly novel.
