The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 58% approval rating based on 36 critic reviews.

neutral · AI labelView post →Man on Fire is a Netflix series now? Are they gonna stretch the story of the movie(s) over 7 episodes? Or maybe in every episode he gets a mission that will redeem his sins and he accomplishes it & dies melodramatically. Then he wakes up to the sound of Sonny and Cher playing on his clock radio...

neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix’s Man on Fire series has a fine lead performance from Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, but is another case of a streaming show padding out what worked fine as a movie-length story. My review:
negative · AI labelView post →I love Wes, but Tony Scott would be the better series. More variety. Big highs. Wild lows. THE HUNGER. THE LAST BOY SCOUT. BEVERLY HILLS COP 2. MAN ON FIRE. I mean, come on. That shit would be wild.

negative · AI labelView post →First look at Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the ‘Man on Fire’ TV series adaptation. 🔔: The eight-episode first season will be based on “Man on Fire” and “The Perfect Kill” by A.J. Quinnell. 📺: Netflix | Later this year
neutral · AI labelView post →I love a good Black man whipping ass show. Man on Fire has me like this
positive · AI labelView post →I have now seen Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in two recent TV series where he has elevated middling material to top-tier entertainment. First in Wonder Man and now in (forthcoming Netflix series) Man On Fire. The man is good.

neutral · AI labelView post →To its credit, the Man on Fire show doesn't go full Surf Dracula and make you wait til the end of the season for Creasy to be fully on fire. Instead, it stretches things out by giving him his own not very interesting Scooby Gang.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just finished S1 of the netflix series reboot of Man on Fire. I really enjoyed it - and the music is also really great. It's a similar, yet different, story from the movie - and they hint that there will be a S2.
positive · AI labelView post →Yahya Abdul-Mateen II really is a man for all seasons. We talked about Wonder Man, his superhero Hollywood satire for #Marvel, and Man on Fire, his upcoming Netflix action series. But also … when should you toss your whole life away and start over? 🤔 He did it once. Might do it again…
neutral · AI labelView post →Funny to see people bitching about the new MAN ON FIRE show being a remake when the 2004 Denzel film is itself a remake of the 1987 Scott Glenn film, which in turn is based on a 1980 novel. There's a whole series of great Creasy novels, and it looks like they're finally adapting them. Can't wait!
neutral · AI labelView post →Today I learned there is a Man on Fire remake series for Netflix. Yahya stepping into Denzel's shoes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bth5...
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw that "Man on Fire" was on Netflix and didn't pay a lot of attention. After turning it on I discovered it was a new series (with the same premise as the previous movies). Now I know that I should basically just follow Yahya Abdul-Mateen II around and watch all of his shows and movies.
positive · AI labelView post →every Netflix show I watch has a strong NR narrative connection and it’s driving me nuts. currently watching Man on Fire rn and he sneaks into jail via a cleaning cart lol

neutral · AI labelView post →I've had a week of not great power of concentration, so I've been watching stuff that wasn't too demanding - series based on movies! I watched that Man on Fire show you mentioned last week, and also the Cape Fear show - both made for pretty good second screen fodder!
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix just dropped a Man on Fire series with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the lead. I’ll definitely be diving into that after I catch up on From.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the Man on Fire series on Netflix
neutral · AI labelView post →The Man on Fire show on Netflix is so bad. Original Concept and Movie: One extremely angry, high skilled killer kills lots of really bad people. Netflix: A team of kids and aunties constantly narrowly escapes trouble while the high skill guy doesn't really do much the entire time.
negative · AI labelView post →First movies that came to mind... Man on Fire (probably cause I'm watching the new series) John Q Philadelphia (all time great film) Fallen (mentioned elsewhere) ... tbh, I'm not sure of a movie he made I haven't enjoyed.

positive · AI labelView post →Take a first look at Yahya Abdul-Mateen ll as John Creasy in the new 'Man on Fire' series. The series also star Billie Boullet, Alice Braga, Scoot McNairy, and Bobby Cannavale. Coming soon to Netflix. [📷 by Juan Rosas/Netflix] #ManOnFire
neutral · AI labelView post →hold up. they’re making a Man on Fire show with Yahya Abdul-Mateen as Creasy?
neutral · AI labelView post →As well as covering films and TV shows shot on the gorgeous island of Gozo. I'd like to do a post on fiction books set here, and need your help. So far we have the Man on Fire series by A.J. Quinnell, Eye of Horus by Ken Lussey, Xaghra's Revenge by Geoff Nelder and.....?
neutral · AI labelView post →Man on Fire, etc., also show ‘heroes’ who are lone figures, lost souls, largely lacking in community support, struggling to find an alternative identity outside of their violent selves, lacking in love, decency and companionship, lacking in moral guidance, and seemingly blind to the physical,
neutral · AI labelView post →“Man on Fire” (2026) is a limited series about a washed out ex-special service officer who revenges the death of his friend. Good story and production but the lead actor is unconvincing. 🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

neutral · AI labelView post →The Equalizer 3 (23): The film is shot by Robert Richardson and has zero business looking that moody and surreptitiously beautiful throughout. The story is familiar Mafia, but Washington and the violence carry it and that Man on Fire reunion is sweeter than I expected. A fine series capper. B
neutral · AI labelView post →#Movies 🎬 #MovieSky #FilmSky 📽️ #Film Show a moment of TV/Film that broke your heart. The ending of Man on Fire. Where Creasy is reunited with, and trades his life for, Pita. It makes me ugly cry everytime.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Denzel Man on Fire by a country mile. I'm also mad for his Equalizer series.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was skeptical of the Netflix Man on Fire series because I'm a Denzel Washington aficionado. By the middle of the second episode I was sold. It's a winner.
positive · AI labelView post →A. J. Quinnell. Man on Fire. The series of powerful books about Creasy the flawed but unstoppable mercenary. Well written. A bit dated now but far superior to the two films & one TV Series that brought him onto our screens. The books had important chapters set on Gozo. Gleneagles in particular. Cut.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the first 2 eps of Man on Fire on Netflix. My respect for Yahya Abdul-Mateen grows with each new role I see him in. Dude’s dedicated and talented. Alice Braga has all the qualities that made her aunt an international star. So far, the series is quite good. We’ll see if it holds together.
positive · AI labelView post →The “Man on Fire” series on Netflix seems good. I’m three episodes in.
positive · AI labelView post →Man On Fire is a GREAT show. 😮💨

positive · AI labelView post →Ok. I mostly like the Netflix Man on Fire show, but the guy's Glock with a standard mag just fired about 30 rounds. C'mon.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve started watching the new Netflix series “Man on Fire.” The pace is slow, but understanding that it’s a series, I’ll give it more time to develop. So far the 2004 film is superior in every way.
neutral · AI labelView post →Man on Fire - Netflix series. 7 Episodes Lets see how Yahya potrays this character
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix’s “Man on Fire” series tries to cop the film’s scorched-earth attitude without bothering to understand where it comes from. (Or, just as likely, without caring.) Yahya deserves better, and so do we! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...
neutral · AI labelView post →#ManOnFire gets a TV remake!
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching the Man on Fire movie with Denzel Washington 7 times > Watching a 7-episode Man on Fire TV show 1 time
negative · AI labelView post →As always, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is super charismatic in #ManOnFire, but the show becomes a bit of a slog after a strong start. Still, it’s decent enough, and be sure to add an extra star if you’re a dad who blazed through Reacher. My review for DS www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a711...
