Rellik

Though the reverse, choppy storytelling can be dizzying at times, the pace at which the mystery unravels with palpable suspense and emotion leaves you as eager to solve the crime as the police. [6/13 Apr 2018, p.85]

It’s a show that works too hard to compensate for the potential disadvantages its storytelling setup brings. ... Rellik may not be the perfect murder, but it’s one that as it unfolds, is worth at least keeping an eye on.

The biggest problem with Rellik is that if it were told in regular linear style, it would only be notable for its unrelenting bleakness. Whodunit becomes when-is-it in a limited series that ends up as just another ydoolb ssem [bloody mess]. [16 Apr - 29 Apr 2018, p.13]

The frustration comes when the attention you're required to pay isn't validated by the results and revelations. The big twist of the season is distressingly easy to guess and I think it's supposed to be, but the explanation for it is so convoluted you can't possibly guess it without an episode-long exposition download.

It’s another case of a show that wouldn’t really work without its high concept, and the desperation its writers display reveals an awareness of that fact that sinks it.
