Reception

Malice (TV series)

The series holds a 48% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 21 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Severely lacking narrative momentum, this latest eat-the-rich caper only manages to strand its audience at sea with Malice." However, Lucy Mangan in The Guardian praised the show as "The White Lotus meets The Talented Mr Ripley... a great ride, and Whitehall acquits himself well in his first lead dramatic role".
