There’s no denying that Alan Ritchson’s role as Jack Reacher in the Prime Video series has led to immense success for the streaming platform. Already on its way to a fourth season<\/a>, Reacher<\/em> has held its own with a promising 96% Rotten Tomatoes<\/em><\/a> score.<\/p>\n While the series, based on the Lee Child books, has no plans of stopping anytime soon, Prime Video released Butterfly<\/em> in a hopeful attempt to capture the same audience.<\/p>\n After its Aug. 13 premiere on the streaming platform, Butterfly<\/em> has received less-than-desirable reviews with only a 72% score on Rotten Tomatoes<\/em><\/a>. It’s possible the series needs more time for word of mouth to grow and for audiences to catch up.<\/p>\n “Though the series has all of the components that make for a compelling thriller, it\u2019s more smoke and mirrors than gritty character-driven material,” commented Variety<\/a><\/em> in their review of the series.<\/p>\n Some of the reviews aren’t 100% negative, with the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a> commenting, “The series, which is no worse and somewhat better than ‘perfectly fine,’ certainly has its points, Kim and Hardesty not the least among them.”<\/p>\n “While the series, created by Steph Cha and Ken Woodruff, never quite takes that intriguing premise to its fullest potential, its mix of sentiment and thrills makes for a pleasantly innocuous addition to the platform\u2019s ever-growing catalogue,” reviewed The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Butterfly<\/em> is a six-episode spy thriller based on the Boom! Studio graphic novel series created by Arash Amel. Lost<\/em> alum Daniel Dae Kim stars as David Jung, a former U.S. intelligence operative who faked his death nine years ago to protect his family.<\/p>\n Now living in South Korea, his life is upended when he becomes determined to reunite with his daughter, Rebecca (Reina Hardesty). But she’s not the young girl she once was and is now a skilled assassin working for\u00a0Caddis, a sinister spy organization led by David\u2019s former partner, Juno (Piper Perabo).<\/p>\n The only problem is that Rebecca has been tasked with eliminating David, unaware that her father is alive. Butterfly<\/em> is a whirlwind story of family and espionage, as Rebecca’s\u00a0loyalty lies with\u00a0Juno after she was abandoned by David.<\/p>\n
