Season 1 Review:
With additional context comes an even greater sense that no secondhand account of what happened on that staircase—whether generated by the prosecution, the defense, or Lestrade—will ever approach the objective truth. The linchpin of this delicate portrayal is Colin Firth’s performance as Michael. ... Although the multiple graphic set pieces that dramatize various theories of how Kathleen died struck me as excessively invasive, for the most part, the flashbacks work to restore her personhood.

Season 1 Review:
As Michael Peterson, Colin Firth manages to make us think he’s guilty as hell one minute, and possibly innocent the next. Toni Collette is touching as Kathleen. And while many a series has caused eyes to glaze over when the plot shifts to younger characters, the dynamics among grown children in this extended family are consistently absorbing.

Season 1 Review:
Firth and Collette are “good,” I guess, and so is the rest of the cast, from Michael Stuhlbarg as the defense attorney David Rudolf to Sophie Turner as Margaret Ratliff, but there is just nothing here to draw interest, much less sustain it, and good actors with no material are like jugglers having to pantomime the balls. Impressive, but only for about 10 seconds. In two words, this is dull fare.

It started slow but certainly riveting. Colin Firth and Toni Collette are top notch.

The documentary was amazing. stop comparing between them. This is a good show.. especially for the people who don't know the story.. the way we see Kathleen's in different minds was a great idea to add. wonderful cast, and Antonio Campos made the story more mysterious.. love it

Do Yourself a favour, and watch documentary, instead of this way too long, full of unimportant nonsense, woke show.

Awful. Just awful. How Colin Firth and Toni Colette agreed to be part of this is perplexing. I watched Jean-Xavier de Lestrade's 2005 award-winning eight-part documentary before watching this. And it was a far better watch than this mess. They honestly shouldn't have bothered.
