It’s a daring, immersive undertaking by USA, while also being far removed from the usual true crime suspects--lately the Menendez Brothers and Waco-based cult leader David Koresh.

Where all this ends up, you already know. But at least Unsolved does a good job of making you care about the failure. Engaging, interesting, watchable.

In the end, despite its the ungainly amount of information it tries to unload and parse, for reasonably long stretches, Unsolved has the propulsive energy and stylish pop of a pretty good nighttime soap. But it’s one that, to its credit, never loses sight of the untimely deaths that brought this whole complicated story to life.

Unsolved is equal parts appealingly pulpy and workmanlike, sometimes paced like a procedural and sometimes like a prestige drama.

A cut above NBC’s ultimately disappointing “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders” but not quite on par with FX’s “American Crime Story.”

Not ambitious enough to break the mold but generically effective while fitting within it, Unsolved isn’t all that it could be or enough of what it should be.

Ultimately, just like those Fake Biggie songs, it all comes off as a hollow imitation once you really listen to it. Unsolved’s default is a string of clichéd cop-speak. ... The rest of the time, it’s all clumsy exposition dumps and self-consciously “streetwise” dialogue, sprinkled with awkward rap references. Unsolved may strut like a gangsta, but it sounds like a narc.

A fantastic recreation of all the sequences from both the murders. Great casting, writing, acting. Action packed series, takes you through the lives of everyone who was involved in the case, the LAPD officers, families of both Tupac and Biggie. The series has done a great job in steadily building the characters in the show. The casting is spot on. You get completely invested in the characters by the end of the 2nd episode. Although it takes a couple of episodes to really get a grip on the storyline the mini series succeeds in every way possible in entertaining and informing the audience of things that they probably didn't know about the murders when they were on TV in the late 90s.
