2.5/5
... the show, which counts Knox and Monica Lewinsky among its producers, doesn’t have a great deal to say about who Knox really was. Go to Full Review
Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Aug 21, 2025
3/5
There have been documentaries and other programmes made about the case, so did we need a drama lasting several hours about it 18 years on? Probably not. But Knox probably needed, and has earned, the catharsis. Go to Full Review
Judy Berman TIME Magazine Aug 20, 2025
Twisted fails to deliver the one element of Knox’s story that might be best expressed through scripted drama: insight into who its viciously caricatured, widely misunderstood subject really is. Go to Full Review

What was once dismissed as "a twisted tale" is, in reality, a testament to how public opinion can become the true judge. And in that mirror, the viewer sees themselves reflected as well. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

74/100
The best thing I can say about it is that it has a clear perspective, which I can’t say is true about every show these days, as fiction seems to triumph over fact. Here, Amanda Knox helped control the narrative, which ultimately made it better. Go to Full Review
Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Oct 9, 2025
Grace Van Patten, playing Knox, is outstanding... But at eight episodes, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is overlong, and a final meeting between Knox and Mignini feels anticlimactic. And where is Kercher in all this? Go to Full Review

Sophie S @RT70741576 Aug 25, 2026 I'm British so everything I thought I knew about this case was via the British press. I watched this series with a full understanding of how Knox and Sollecito have continued to be tainted with the suspicion of involvement in Meredith's murder, even after acquittal, which only served to increase the emotional stakes. I felt deep empathy for the real people behind the characters in this movie. It is based on Knox's books, and I could tell that the source material came from the heart. Even the prosecutor, Magnini, is portrayed sympathetically, not as a caricature. And the ending is poignant in remembering Meredith who is so often forgotten in any discussion of this case. I don't understand the allegations of "bias", this a re-telling of Knox's own story and personal experiences and this fact is made clear. I also appreciate the fact that it is filmed in Italian and the producers chose not to dumb it down by filming in English. Ignore the negative reviews and watch this. See more Christian M. @oldspring May 26, 2026 Very compelling. The information is all there and is revealed as the drama unfolds. I know the story but it is still a shocking one. The Italian justice system comes off very poorly. Hopefully they have learned from their tragic mistakes. The acting is excellent. The production values are high. See more Natalia F @RT34682363 Apr 18, 2026 Grace Van Patten is great at portraying Knox, but it felt completely and maybe conveniently biased. The fact that she is a producer and a writer is very clear from the start. It's interesting to see it, but after watching the many documentaries and the real footage on the case, it feels like she didn't shy away from resorting to cultural cliches to make her point See more Sarah H @sarahreviewsshows Jan 10, 2026 This was the most infuriating series I’ve ever watched, in the best way possible. Extremely well done. See more Abed D @Abeddani Dec 6, 2025 one of the few tv series that goes back and forth and I still could totally fathom the sequence and live the drama!! Van Patten is a spectacle to watch, even Magnini and Rafa are there to make this one of my top 10 series. You could live the sensation and relive what Knox actually lived through.. I kept waiting for faults and i couldnt find any.. wow wow wow people you did awesome!! See more VITALII H @freakynickison Nov 28, 2025 This story is so wild. I heard about Amanda Knox but I never got into the whole thing, I didn’t even knew what was that all about. I knew that it’s a true crime story but now I finally watched this show and I’m aware of what actually went down. Of course no one knows what happened that night, I was not there but you can’t accuse someone with no concrete evidence. It’s a crazy story of a serious crime, wrongful conviction, ego driven prosecutors, law system collapse and violent press. The show is great, well written and executed. Definitely worth your time.
