The show's high-octane action and the chemistry between the leads have been widely praised.

Behind the Scenes
Waddingham and Spencer spoke to People about their fast-growing friendship, which has been highlighted by fans and critics. "We’d be sitting in a car all day, talking nonsense, laughing, and not running back and forth between trailers and sets," Waddingham said. "You could really concentrate on the relationship."
Spencer added: "The emotion, the words, our physicality — all of it had to sell those scenes. By then we were deeply invested. Thank goodness for all the action because it made everything exciting, but when you get down to it, it was the conversations, the tears, the laughter and the memories."
Ride or Die is available to stream in its entirety on Prime Video.
