Murder in Small Town X bogs down in its details and the players' foolishness. Go to Full Review Linda Stasi New York Post 12/18/2019
2/4
No, this is not the ultimate reality show; the losers aren't really killed, they are just thrown off the show. I was so confused at this point, I was ready to murder the producers. Go to Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle 12/18/2019
The setup for the eight-week series is cumbersome and overengineered. The producers get in the way of the fun. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 12/19/2019
It's a video version of the role-playing murder-mystery games in which the contestants have to work together and against each other in pursuit of a $250,000 prize. It's also a bit complicated and occasionally over-the-top stupid, which is unfortunate. Go to Full Review John Levesque Seattle Post-Intelligencer 12/18/2019
The first episode is a train wreck of confusing rules and bad acting. But the strangest thing is seeing the "investigators" behaving as if their own lives are in danger. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 12/18/2019
An intriguing blend of fiction and reality, "Murder in Small Town X" is the most compelling "reality" series since "Survivor." Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/24/2022 One of the best reality shows of the 2000's, it was a show that was well ahead of its prime. It's too bad it didn't go for a second season but the show was great, it had suspense, great acting, and it was a fresh innovative idea. See more Read all reviews
