In this first episode I already admire the taciturn intensity of all involved in bringing justice to the dead. Can't wait for the next five Monday nights to see it through. Join me?

This feels like a new direction for true crime, an antidote of sorts to the showier serial killer documentaries that seem to be everywhere.
February 08, 2021
It feels truthful, and is deeply affecting, and is incredibly tense even though you know the outcome. There is nothing schlocky about it at all.

The show's center is not the gruesome details of Wall's murder, but the process of investigation itself. It's a procedural in the truest sense of the word.

Sometimes it's as though The Investigation doesn't believe its own premise, leaving that central conceit feeling less like an innovation and more like a marketing gimmick.
February 09, 2021
Raises the bar for true crime drama. It does so by rejecting every last one of the genre's conventions.
February 04, 2021
The Investigation [is] not only refreshing but also respectful - something that other true-crime dramas have failed to do before.
February 09, 2021
It's a welcome approach, not relying on gruesome imagery to sell the narrative, even if the series doesn't always make of most of their absence by showcasing other interesting investigative tools.
February 09, 2021
Wall's parents, Ingrid and Joachim (Pernilla August and Rolf Lassgård), add much-needed humanity as they experience immense kindness from their neighbors and continue to push for justice.
February 02, 2021
Seeing these cops and prosecutors make their way through Madsen's lies to get to the truth will be interesting to watch.

In The Investigation, pursuing justice is a communal act of faith that ultimately becomes catharsis: a reminder of why justice is necessary, why it's worth committing to - and why it's worth every labored, excruciating second of our time.

The drama is subtle and patient, if sometimes dry, but there is something extremely powerful about not framing a woman's murder as pure entertainment.
