Premise

Rennervations is an original four-part series that embraces Jeremy Renner's lifelong passion to give back to communities around the world by reimagining unique purpose-built vehicles to meet a community's needs.

Reception

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 75% approval rating with an average rating of 8.00/10, based on 8 critic reviews. [15]

Joel Keller of Decider asserted, "Rennervations is a touch frantic and a little unhinged, but that just seems to be a reflection of its star’s personality. We love seeing the conversions and the organizations that will get these really fun new vehicles." [16] Alison Herman of Variety said, "Rennervations is designed to be a feel-good show, following the actor as he restores retired vehicles for use by youth-focused charities. But offscreen events have conspired to give its predictable triumphs — assignment, engineering, execution, delivery — an added dimension" [17] Tony Bradley of Forbes wrote, "Rennervations is a unique series that highlights the importance of community service and the role that technology plays in making ambitious projects possible. Renner and his team demonstrate the power of collaboration, innovation, and education in driving positive change in communities worldwide." [18] Brandon Zachary of Comic Book Resources stated, "There's a sweetness to Renner and his passions that prove infectiously charming. A well-constructed series, Rennervations is elevated by the genuine sincerity of its presentation." [19] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media gave the series a grade of 4 out of 5 stars, praised the presence of positive messages and role models, citing teamwork and benevolence, and complimented the educational value, writing, "Pace lags a little, but strong messages shine through." [20]

Accolades

Rennervations was nominated for Best Streaming Nonfiction Series at the 1st Astra Creative Arts TV Awards. [21]
