If you find yourself laughing along with them—or can, at least, imagine why two women who have chosen to professionally immerse themselves in nightmarish sexual violence might seek a consensual version of it and also find the humor in that proclivity—then it’s likely you’ll be able to get on Furious’ wavelength. Created by Elizabeth Meriwether (Dying for Sex, New Girl) and premiering, with three episodes, on July 27, the series is more straightforward in its plot than the typical convoluted crime thriller but also more complex in its layered, often contradictory ideas. Its cat-and-mouse setup resembles that of Killing Eve: a troubled, underestimated female agent chases an eccentric, possibly psychopathic female killer. As its title suggests, one of its subjects is women’s rage. Yet, at its core, Furious is a haunting interrogation of the psychology of victimhood, the logic of revenge, and the myth that the justice system exists to protect the vulnerable, and its conclusions are too messy to resolve into a pat fable of empowerment or healing.
