[Murder One] was all just procedure really, but it was compelling. So compelling, in fact, that what was worst about Murder One -- its solemn, unashamed addiction to melodrama -- hardly mattered.
July 30, 2019
Murder One would have played much better as a four-hour or eight-hour miniseries than as a regular series. Many of its middle episodes barely inched the plot along.

Murder One sets the stage skillfully for what promises to be the television equivalent of an absorbing excursion into a good Mary Higgins Clark mystery.
July 29, 2019
The plot is novelistically complex, with numerous subplots and a roster of characters, each with his or her own slew of quirks and secrets, that you might need a cheat sheet to keep up with.

Murder One is quintessential [Steven] Bochco, a well-acted, smartly written, meticulously presented hour that turns the law inside out while telling a good story that makes you feel like you're spying on these people through a peephole.
July 29, 2019
As with all [Steven] Bochco series, what initially and ultimately sets apart Murder One is the quality of the writing and intricacy of the characters.
July 29, 2019
There's a lot to love about Murder One, bless its parodically sleazy, shrewdly opportunistic, talent-engorged heart.

This is super-gripping, diamond-bright, edge-of-your-couch TV.
July 29, 2019
Stylish and well-acted, this is the rare show in which commercials hit with a jolt, awakening you from the program's potent spell.
July 29, 2019
Murder One is profound, brilliant, mesmerizing and scary.
July 29, 2019
Adult, hard-hitting and tough-talking, Murder One represents the apex of TV series production. Everything is first-rate, from the writing and acting to the photography and music.

Season One remains impressive, unsettling and influential.
