The Fugitive (2020) received mixed to average reviews from critics. On IMDb, the series holds a rating of 5.8/10 based on user ratings, reflecting a divided audience reception. Reviewers generally praised Kiefer Sutherland's performance, noting his intense presence and experience in thriller roles as a highlight. However, many critics felt that the show struggled to bring fresh energy to a well-worn premise, with some citing predictable plot developments and pacing issues. Rotten Tomatoes lacks a formal score for this limited series, but several online critiques expressed that while the action sequences were engaging, the character development felt undercooked at times. Metacritic also does not have an aggregate score for the show, reinforcing the notion that it flew somewhat under the radar. Some viewers appreciated the nostalgia factor and appreciated its modernized take, but others felt that it did not live up to the legacy of previous adaptations of The Fugitive narrative. Overall, the series is seen as a solid but not standout thriller offering in the crowded TV landscape of 2020.
