Martin Carr of We Got This Covered stated that "'Rabbit Hole' not only promises greatness, but delivers in spades," but Ben Travers of IndieWire feels that the show is "brazenly reminiscent of better spy offerings" and if not for this it "could be a worthy investment."

## Behind the scenes

* Regarding the series, show creators John Requa and Glenn Ficarra stated the following things:
	+ "Things are not what they seem."
	+ "The show reframes the story in every episode."
	+ "We're lying to the audience, but we're hoping that it's a delicious lie."

* The series is said to be different from Kiefer Sutherland's *24* in that while his character goes undercover to fight off bad guys, here he does not have the backing of an organization like CTU, but rather is on his own at first, having only his own judgment as to whom to ally with.
* *Rabbit Hole* was initially announced to premiere in Fall 2022, but was delayed for currently unknown reasons.
* Other taglines for the series include "One nation under surveillance" and "Data is our downfall."
* Despite the obvious immediate similarities between this series and *24* in terms of being a thriller series, show star Kiefer Sutherland stated that outside of this, the two series "couldn't be more different." He stated that his character has a fantastic sense of humor and that the series itself has both a romantic and a humorous side.
* In the show's official logo and publicity material, the show's title is stylized as *Rabbit/Hole*.
