Reviews
Desperate Measures has received mixed reviews from critics, reflecting both its engaging storyline and some predictability in execution. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show holds a modest rating, with some reviewers highlighting Abbington's strong performance. The Independent praises her as 'a powerhouse, bringing depth and emotion to a familiar plot.' However, others felt the series falls victim to common thriller tropes. 'While the stakes are high, the tension sometimes dips into cliché,' lamented a review from Metacritic, which echoed sentiments of the show's ability to entertain but warned viewers of the unoriginal elements. Overall, Desperate Measures is described as 'suspenseful and compelling' yet perhaps lacking in innovation. IMDb currently rates the show at 6.2/10, which suggests that while viewers find it watchable, it hasn't quite captivated a broader audience. As one audience member noted, 'It’s a gripping ride, but just when you think it’s going to innovate, it takes a turn that you’ve seen before.'
