Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 09/26/2018
The horridly clunky script for this American miniseries should have been considered for a long spell in the bottom drawer followed by quick incineration in the backyard. Go to Full Review
Alastair McKay London Evening Standard 09/11/2018
Annaud directs every episode, and the cinematic textures are obvious. Go to Full Review
James Jackson The Times (UK) 09/11/2018
4/5
[This series] has a leisurely appeal, a bit like a slick early-1990s potboiler...and a polished edge of ambiguity. Go to Full Review

Jake T @RT50827077 Feb 20 Incredibly silly, boring series with no real payoff despite its constant attempts at big reveals/plot twists. Cast is solid but completely wasted. It also seemingly attempts to normalize and even glorify the idea of a guy in his mid 30's fleeing the country with a 15 year old girl. Pretty gross. See more DCI B @DCI_Benway Feb 11 Nothing about this show was believable from beginning to end. Bad writing, directing and acting as well as a good bit of miscasting - none of the main characters were convincing in the slightest. It felt like a teenage girl drama club was tasked with putting this mess on screen with sap up to your eyeballs, all drawn out well beyond 3 or 4 episodes that would have told the story just fine. Nearly every minute of every flashback could have been left out of the show without losing the plot line. Finishing this was pure sunk cost fallacy and by the end I was so sick of Patrick Dempsey that I couldn't bring myself to finish another episode of Memory of a Killer. If you're interested in the slightest, watch the first two and last two episodes and you won't miss any of the wasteland in between. See more K S @RT46459255 Nov 29 This was painful - too long, not plausible, and Patrick Dempsey was flat and boring. Why all these women are fawning some egocentric, dismissive man-child. He's not charismatic, he's not charming. I watched it but the story just seems to grasp at straws to keep going. It really was so painful. Dialogue was unrealistic. See more Patricia A G @RT88733002 Nov 24 I most certainly do not agree with the negative reviews. This was compelling, and keeps one guessing. The story was so great I took no notice of any mis-steps possibly in direction, etc. To me, this was a 5/5! See more Alain E @AlainE Nov 12 Νot convincing. Period. For example: a civilian goes to meet a police officer and he is called a shithead. I didn’t say a masked ICE agent. Convoluted story. Total waste of time. Gave up in episode 2. See more Anna L. @MizzAnna Sep 30 A real whodunit! I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Never got dull. It makes for a great binge weekend. See more Read all reviews
