The Fugitive (2020)
Well worth watching!
Having watched Die Hart and #freerayshawn, I'm not a fan of the 8 minute (average) Quibi webisode format. They seem to have taken made for TV movies and chopped them up without any regard for appropriate timing. Also, they pad the length by replaying the last scene from each episode to start the next one.
With The Fugitive, each episode ends at a logical break point (often a cliffhanger like in 24). Also, each successive episode picks up with the next scene instead of wasting time on recaps. The acting is great and so is the story. Skip the other Roku shows and go directly to this one - it's well worth watching!
I would have given it 10 stars of they had just made it a regular movie. Also, a pet peeve is how loud the commercials are (including the Roku intro). Does Roku really want people to hit the mute button and not listen to the commercials at all? That's what I did as it was much easier than changing the volume every 8 to 10 minutes.

Give this a pass!
I only watched up to Episode 7 because of Laurence Fishburne and I just couldn't justify wasting any more time. The plot has more holes than Swiss cheese! Other reviewers have provided details so I won't bother repeating the obvious. Even though the episodes are only 7 minutes long I hit the fast forward button several times! Save yourself some time and give this a pass.
