There are many scenes scattered throughout that bring the momentum way down, including delving into details about side characters even the backstories of the leads feel disposable in their own right. That doesn’t mean Rabbit Hole can’t get a little lost in itself. Logic is whatever the series needs it to be as it is all rather slick, waving away most anything that would drag down the story. Of course, that makes it even more silly when his character gets into bickering with Weir about the best way to proceed. Without tipping off who exactly he is playing, the appearance of Charles Dance brings perhaps the biggest surprise, one which the actor sells with deadly seriousness. It is a series that isn’t a comedy on the whole, but it is hard not to laugh at many of its escalations. There is a cartoonish undercurrent to such moments, as Rabbit Hole is a show that is framed around the spectacle of its premise rather than a more serious tension. One of these scenes is even turned into a darker punchline of sorts with the impact of the body being followed by a wryly comedic observation. This often happens literally, with multiple characters falling from a very high height and splattering on the ground below. RELATED: Kiefer Sutherland on 'Rabbit Hole' and How the Series Reflects Our World TodayĪny connections to the real world are merely there to instill the plot with some sort of gravity just before it tosses everything into the air. However, none of this is meant to be taken too seriously. This plot looms large over everything, with Rabbit Hole referencing real issues facing the world and how this may soon lead to potential catastrophe. More importantly than that, this leaves him on the run while trying to prevent something bigger that is coming. Specifically, it is for a murder that he did not commit. This status quo all changes when Weir suddenly finds himself as the one being framed. He's paranoid about almost everything, but he seems to be in control of the situation. It makes him in high demand, but it may also make him a target. This is because he is the type of man who we are informed time and time again is very good at manipulating the world through meticulous planning crossed with a gruff sensibility. He seems to be doing this in a freelance capacity, without any personal or political investment in the operation. Essentially, Weir has assembled a crack team who will be framing a couple of marks. What is this job? Well, the details of it are both best left to the show itself and, as we will come to know, may not even be what they seem in the first place. The story of Rabbit Hole begins with John Weir (Sutherland) as he tries to carry out a job.
