What Are the Critics Saying About The Investigation?
The Investigation has an official critics rating of 84% and an average audience score of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes.
John Doyle from The Globe and Mail writes, “It’s a slow-moving, slow-burning six-part drama that is a variant on the Scandi-noir template; it’s a new and strangely mesmerizing type of true-crime series anchored in deeply understated acting and plot development.”
The Hollywood Reporter’s Inkoo Kang says, “Even with an extensive epilogue dedicated to Wall and her parents’ endeavors to remember their late daughter… the show can’t help feeling like it’s also sidelining the real-life woman without whose death it would have never existed.”
