Teenager Lukas Hallenbeck seemingly has it all -- popularity, motocross stardom and an attractive girlfriend -- but deep down is conflicted about his sexuality. Those feelings begin to come to the surface when he meets Philip, a classmate with whom he starts a relationship that the boys try to keep secret. Things get more complicated when the teens witness a murder and fear that they will be found by the person who committed the crime. While they stay silent about what they saw, they realize that it can never be unseen and the traumatic event has changed their lives forever. As he is potentially being hunted by the killer, Lukas worries that his secret will be revealed, he will be outed, and he will lose everything. "Eyewitness" is an adaptation of a Norwegian crime thriller.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter Oct 26, 2016
Tonally, though, the palette points to a show that is fairly suffocating. Go to Full Review Brian Moylan Guardian Oct 17, 2016
While the investigation is dragged out a little bit longer than necessary over the 10 episodes, the ambient pleasures of watching Nicholson and her two young co-stars are enough to keep anyone plugging through the more boring stretches. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times Oct 14, 2016
It carries some of the DNA of a Lifetime movie of the week, but the writing and direction are better than that, and Mr. Paxton and especially Mr. Young are quite good. Go to Full Review Michelle Alexandria Eclipse Magazine Nov 25, 2016
B
Sometimes tight, engrossing, thriller that at times feels like it's trying too hard to justify its 10-episode run. Gets a bit unnecessarily complicated and convoluted as it moves along. Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Reason Online Oct 28, 2016
The pilot episode is a model of expositional economy that lays down a complicated premise in just a few minutes, then adds complicating elements one by one. Go to Full Review Chris Cabin Collider Oct 27, 2016
1/5
Even if one were to exclusively count the procedural thrill of such murder-centric stories, Eyewitness comes up staggeringly short of what it's going for. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
