The four-part series proves a powerful mystery documentary in its own right while providing tremendous service to further ascertaining culpability of Syed.
This docuseries has a sprawling cast of people, each providing further shading of the emotional and personal truths they carry due to the devastation of this case.
Comprehensive yet still incomplete, "The Case" gets entangled in the underbrush and can't quite seem to find its way to either a conclusion or the truth.
The four-part series most notable contribution to the saga is how it reckons with so many of the ethical questions that most true-crime media avoids in order to keep feeding our insatiable appetites for more real-life horror.
The docuseries's investigative work is top-notch: more nuts and bolts than Serial, but also able to profit off of the wide-ranging fact-finding the podcast inspired.
The Case Against Adnan Syed suffers from a lack of specificity. Pick an argument and thoroughly make it - as it is, it's just retelling the story briefly and catching us up to the appeal.
