An elite joint special-operations team is assembled from various branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and intelligence services to stop a deadly terrorist network from blowing up Las Vegas.

Production

Cobra Kai's Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald created Obliterated under their overall deal at Sony Pictures Television with plans to write and executive produce the series as well. In October 2019, TBS gave a straight-to-series order of ten episodes;[1] however, the show was later moved from TBS to Netflix and reduced to eight episodes.[2] Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald also directed, and Dina Hillier helped executive produce with the three.[3] Nick Zano and Shelley Hennig were cast in the lead roles,[4] and the main cast later added Terrence Terrell, Alyson Gorske, C. Thomas Howell, Eugene Kim, Paola Lázaro, and Kimi Rutledge.[5][6] Additional recurring roles and guest stars were announced in October 2022.[7]

Filming began in July 2022, taking place in Las Vegas and Albuquerque.[8][9] On February 1, 2024, Netflix canceled the series after one season.[10]

Release

Eight episodes of Obliterated were released on Netflix on November 30, 2023. The date announcement also came with the arrival of first look images.[11]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 47% approval rating with an average rating of 5/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Obliterated pulls out all the stops to be as memorable a binge as a bar crawl, but the hangover sets in quickly for this overly busy series."[12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 46% out of 100 based on nine critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[13] Leila Latif of The Guardian gave the series one out of five stars and wrote, "The pace is so excruciating and the show so repetitive that by the third hour, nothing would seem more heroic than someone detonating the bomb and putting us all out of our misery".[14]
