Critic Reviews

Intelligent, intimate and highly sympathetic documentary. .... The three-part series doesn’t solve any puzzles. But police camera footage, procedural scrutiny and extensive interviews do make it an enigmatic true-crime thriller.

The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare is meticulously arranged and impressively detailed, but its most striking feature is its abundance of humanity for both the victims and their surviving families.

The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare doesn’t say anything new about the Idaho State murders, but it gives viewers more insight into the victims and their lives, which is always welcome in the true crime genre.

Yet another somewhat unsatisfying true-crime documentary.
