Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin. When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.

Graeme Blundell The Australian 1d
Getting an obvious laugh is one thing; it is much harder to do what these actors do – draw humour from the characters themselves, without ever making those characters seem as if they are trying to be funny. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jul 30
You haven’t seen someone trying to fight an assassin while being poisoned until you’ve seen Hannah Waddingham do it in the close confines of a luxury train. Go to Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine Jul 27
3/5
Ride Or Die isn’t quite the action vehicle Waddingham and Spencer deserve, but they both excel regardless, hitting the thrills and comedic beats with formidable and charismatic tenacity. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL 1d
Satisfying and undemanding, the eight-episode Ride scratches an itch without asking for much in return. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Aug 5
2/5
Ride or Die pairs Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer in a fast-paced action-comedy that’s powered by terrific chemistry, sharp humour and entertaining set pieces, even if its familiar story rarely surprises. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator Jul 31
[Ride or Die] is done with such shamelessly garish brio that only the most committed of spoilsports would allow themselves to be distracted by such things as implausibility and ludicrousness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lori H @LAHcomic 17h Fantastic Cast, Great Script, can't wait till season 2!!! It will hook you!! The new buddy movie power couple 😃 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 See more Tahir P @tahirP 1d Not what I expected with unexpected twists and turns that kept me interested. See more Jake D @WhiteBoy 1d For a show staring and directed by all women I thought I would hate this, but it was actually surprisingly funny and some pretty good action scenes. I didn’t think I would like it but I do. Would be 5 stars but there are some slow forced scenes where the two old women get emotional off and on. Kinda drags it out for no real purpose. Takes you out of the fun. But the other 85% is enjoyable. Hope they build out more of the assassin world and lean less into the corny, girl-power cry fests. See more Mo P @Mopal 2d What a great show! Has everything:, action, comedy, romance, drama. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Terrific acting. Look forward to season 2. See more Heather Y @hikergirl1 3d Loved it. Looking forward to the next season. See more pan M @Panmel 3d Truly excellent and a really fun packed ride, brilliant ! Love the pace, the chemistry - top notch casting - it's delightfully quirky and the innovative take on the usual spy/assassin thematics is so refreshing. Come on season 2 and so forth please.
