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.

Pairing Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham is nothing short of genius, and Ride or Die is a twisty guilty pleasure that throws plausibility out the window in pursuit of laughs, action, and charm.

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 Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 3d
Well written with a dash of humor and speedily directed, the seasoned cast is a lot of fun to watch. Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 3d
6/10
It is clear that there is potential beyond the same male-oriented espionage fare, and Ride or Die does a good job of keeping the series enjoyable regardless of demographics. Go to Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Aug 10
Satisfying and undemanding, the eight-episode Ride scratches an itch without asking for much in return. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Greg H @NotSiskelAndEbert 2d Its bad enough when you have a man kick the ass of 10 other trained men but all too often now we have women doing the same thing these days. It is getting so tiresome! At least with Hannah Waddingham, she isn't a 5'3", 105lb twig! C'mon can't people come up with some better stories? Do we have to keep rehashing this type of cheap trash? See more Angela R @Angie2020 3d Very fun, action packed show! So glad I took time to check this out...Hope there will be a season 2! See more L M @Romancejunkie5 3d So much fun! This was so refreshing to see, not only a female-led action-type show, but older women too. The cast had such great chemistry and I loved that they left it in a place where it easily could be one season, but also left me wanting more. I really hope we get a season 2! See more Aurelia G @RT567890432676 4d I just love Hannah and Octavia on their own but together they are the duo I didn't know I needed. Really enjoyed the show a lot. Super disappointed about Billy. His character was a perfect compliment to the other two. Hope there is a season 2! See more Lori H @LAHcomic 6d 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 Aug 11 Not what I expected with unexpected twists and turns that kept me interested. See more Read all reviews
