Detectives Rob Reilly and Cassie Maddox find themselves dispatched to investigate the murder of a young girl on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. Based on the books "In the Woods" and "The Likeness" by American-Irish writer Tana French, this psychological thriller features a cast of mostly Irish actors, including Killian Scott and Sarah Greene as the leads. The series follows the detectives, who put their friendship to the test, as they are pulled deeper into the intrigue and darkness that surrounds the case.

Critics Consensus

Thrilling, but a bit tired, Dublin Murders's grim subject matter is no doubt gripping, but for some it may feel a little like djvu.

3.5/5

Some crime series captivate because the mystery itself is so maddeningly mysterious, while the lure of others is largely the frisson between the leading detectives. This Irish drama of tragedy and intrigue has both in spades.

3.5/5

The storytelling is crisp and connective, but it's always accentuated by a disconcerting mood that feels connected to the sense that everyone is being drawn into something they can't control.

Remember that if you're drawn to what is an unusually ethereal mystery, one that is tricky and sometimes off-kilter. You've been warned. The cast is excellent, by the way.

I was expecting a detective story with the case solved at the end, not a fairy story with an open ending. Not my cup of tea.

I really dug the absolute hell out of this, def a beautifully brutal mini series, and the actors we’re perfect, the young actress who played Adalyn was completely convincing and scary af, you ever see a movie with little demon kids that weird you the F out well if you haven’t watch this,i loved it

What the fresh hell? This is all over the place with flashbacks and both main character detectives are absolute dunce heads. Robert (Scott) is so hell bent on making sure no one remembers who he actually is while desperately trying to remember what happened all those years ago but he messes around with evidence and screws about. Then Cassie (Greene) just got messy because her heart got broken by Rob. Trash shite all garbled together into an incoherent mess.

I had to write this review.If I can save one person from having to endure this train wreck of a show I will be very happy. My husband and I watched the series but unfortunately the ending was definitely one of the worst we have seen in recent memory. Unlikable characters, dark, dreary and excruciatingly slow pace and plot development. All of the characters are horrible, flawed and despicable. We kept hoping the ending would at least make it bearable but that did not happen. Avoid this series. You have been warned!

Starts off with so much promise, but becomes more clouded as we reach it's rather unsatisying conclusion.

I was glad when this ended, and didn't even really care about the 'revelation'. I stuck it out because I had nothing else to watch. The story was literally all over the place and the Cassie/Lexi thing was pretty unbelievable even for a tv show. Main protagonists were good actors but had zero connection to them. One too many unnecessary storylines and characters.
