“If she was able or willing to balance out Rapp’s toxic energy, maybe “Yaga” could cast a convincing spell.”
“Cocksure and brazen, Rapp is paired with Carson by the local chief, but he doesn’t work well with others.”

“Grade: C “Yaga” premieres Friday, October 23 on AMC+ with two episodes.”
“It’s not scary enough to qualify as the former or be witch ing enough to sustain the latter.”
“Powered by WordPress.com VIP “What's 'John Wick'?” ‘Yaga’ Review: Hudson Williams’ Creepy Dual Roles Can’t Save a Witchy Mystery That’s Not Creepy Enough A reimagining of the Baba Yaga myth (and her own play), Kat Sandler's AMC+ series follows a beat cop and a private investigator as they search a misty, mysterious coastal town for a powerful family's missing heir.”
“He lives in a giant mansion with one (1) roommate: a friend named Logan who, despite being unrelated, looks exactly like Henry.”
“But “Yaga” never reaches its potential as a horror show or a mystery (and I can’t say whether its feminist underpinnings pay off either, since only seven of the eight episodes were made available for review).”
“Adapted from Sandler’s play of the same name, the eight-episode series reimagines the Baba Yaga myth as a detective-driven mystery — not the myth about Keanu Reeves’ unkillable assassin, but the historical one from Slavic folklore about a witch who, depending on the teller, is either a nice, accommodating, elderly woman, or a kidnapping, kid-eating monster.”

“Both roles are played by Williams, and while neither takes up that much screentime, the actor does a fine job distinguishing the entitled playboy from his quiet, fawning sidekick.”

“He’s not dressed for the rainy Canadian countryside, but another cop says exactly what Rapp hopes he’ll say: “I think he looks pretty cool.” Noah Reid and Clark Backo in ‘Yaga’ Courtesy of AMC Rapp’s first impression proves right on the nose: He’s impossibly full of himself.”
“Rapp’s schtick goes on for so long, working his “magic” on so many Whittock women, I found myself wondering, “Is Noah Reid Canada’s version of Ryan Gosling?” No, of course not!”
“He chases his own theories while searching for Henry (which conveniently involve a lot of drug-fueled parties and women amenable to his charms) and follows up however he feels like it (or if he feels like it, in case he’s moved on to another amenable woman).”
“Ryan Gosling is Canada’s version of Ryan Gosling!”
