Summary
Ride or Die starts with the best kind of best-friend problem: one of them is an international assassin and that’s not even the whole mess. Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, Tessa Coates, and Matt Miller talk with Kyle Meredith about the Prime Video series, from Waddingham finally getting to go full action star and Spencer digging into the friendship at the center of it, to Coates building a female action story that sends the assassin back for her best friend instead of the typical husband or kid. Miller gets into making eight episodes feel like one big globe-trotting movie, even if most of Europe was secretly Prague, while everyone circles the bigger win here of “women of a certain age” getting to be funny, complicated, dangerous, and completely in charge of the ride.
