Inspired by true events, On the Job on HBO Max is an action-thriller series highlighting the multi-level corruption in the Philippines’ politics and law enforcement. Powerful politicians and influential clients hire jailed convicts to carry out assassinations for them; once the job is done, the assassins are returned to their prison cells. However, neither the hitmen nor the truth-seeking journalists are safe under the criminal nexus.

What Are the Critics Saying About On the Job?
On the Job has no official critics rating or average audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The series, however, has a user score of 7.2/10 on IMDB.
Fred Hawson from ABS-CBN News writes, “Its very familiar tragic scenarios may lessen its shock factor a bit for Filipino viewers, but nevertheless remains a very potent viewing experience.”
NME’s Karl R. De Mesa says, “Unfortunately, sometimes On The Job undermines its own dramatics with distracting music curation and prickly plot points that make the protagonists look implausibly lucky, their forward movement contrived (there’s a big one in episode five). But even if the pacing sometimes drags, Yamamoto’s deft writing manages to keep the show cohesive, the narrative balls aloft in the air.”
