Making a Murderer • Part 1 Ratings & Reviews
Rolling Stone
Sam Adams
Making a Murderer goes deep instead of broad, exploiting the inherent drama of a murder investigation and subsequent criminal trials.
Slate
Whet Moser
I found myself just as captivated by what Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos had captured in the peripheral vision of the camera: a detailed portrait of class intersections extending well beyond the courtroom.
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
"Making a Murderer" has the power to go beyond memes and thinkpieces, since this series concerns what is widely considered a miscarriage of justice.
Associated Press
Frazier Moore
Few series pack a punch like this, and, further stoking your moral outrage, the tale this 10-hour docuseries tells is real.
The New Republic
Sarah Marshall
Making a Murderer falls into a growing subgenre of true crime narratives that may captivate audiences precisely because they aren't primarily concerned with captivating us at all.
Observer
Vinnie Mancuso
Making a Murderer is shockingly, disturbingly, infuriatingly a true story which took place in Wisconsin between 1985 and the present, and let me tell you-it will devastate you.
Vox
Emily St. James
Making a Murderer finds strength even in its weaknesses. It's a sprawling small-town saga that, nonetheless, feels lived-in and intimate... This is grim television, but it's also necessary television.
Salon.com
Sonia Saraiya
Making a Murderer doesn't have that arresting peg of the audience surrogate, which can so often be a galvanizing force in and out of a dense journalistic tale.
AV Club
Josh Modell
What's clear from the first two episodes is that Avery's case (cases, actually) are complicated and mysterious and incredible in that you-couldn't-make-this-s--t-up way.
The Atlantic
Lenika Cruz
Making a Murderer has the potential to be as popular and thought-provoking as its forebears-and to have real-life repercussions.
TheWrap
Amber Dowling
It's a fitting entry for Netflix, the king of binge-watching, as it's hard to hit pause on Making a Murderer once it's rolling through the queue.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
What emerges... is a disturbing portrait of tribal politics in small-town America and a chilling reminder that the criminal justice system has many more sides than scripted television's carefully curated tales of "law and order."
Entertainment Weekly
Melissa Maerz
It's not only a gripping true-crime story, it's also the most moral one I've seen in a long time.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
This excellent series captures a system that so easily loses sight of its most important duty: finding justice for its victims.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Molly Eichel
They take complex legal subjects and make them interesting, boiling down mundane legal bureaucracy into a cohesive story that still is able to treat all victims - no matter what side of the cell bars they are on - with respect.
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
Is Avery the victim of corrupt authorities, a cold-blooded psychopath, or both? "Making a Murderer" implores viewers to keep up with each twist, and the result encourages binge-viewing with purpose.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
After one episode, I was curious. After two episodes, I was concerned. After three episodes, I was angry. And now, having seen four episodes, there's a fair amount of champing at the bit.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
We may think we know the answers, but by the end of the fourth episode, we've also witnessed enough out-of-nowhere surprises to accept that real life doesn't follow a script.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Even in the age of the high-quality limited series, it's rare to come this close to the feeling of reading a book - immersive, compulsive and unpredictable, but also exhausting and sometimes mundane and repetitive.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Margaret Lyons
It's a harrowing but worthy trip.
