As fascinating as it is messy.
TIME Magazine
Eliana Dockterman
Only becomes more captivating-and bizarre-in the final episode when a crucial witness makes an appearance.
Rolling Stone
Josh Modell
It's the perfect story for one of the streaming service's true-crime deep-dives.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Borzillieri's crusading intensity is the best part of Evil Genius.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
With Evil Genius there's actually a sense of discovery, and a crime spree so unusual that it genuinely approximates a Coen brothers movie, down to the quirky assortment of culprits and stooges.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
But its portrayal of Diehl-Armstrong, the mentally ill woman to whom the title "evil genius" refers, is what breeds the most fascination and frustration.
indieWire
Steve Greene
For a series that features, by its own description, a "master manipulator," Evil Genius feels more like a confused, unwitting pawn than an adversary worthy of taking on the challenge to uncover the truth.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
As its stunning final truths come to light, the show transforms into a condemnation of our justice system. Still, it's Diehl-Armstrong who, long after Evil Genius has concluded, proves most difficult to shake.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
The case of true crime storytelling that can be too easily classified as merely satiating the supply-and-demand for such unconscionable tales.
Film Pulse
Adam Patterson
There's a noticeable lack of polish in Evil Genius and although it's a compelling journey, it's not a particularly pretty one to watch.
John Hanlon Reviews
John Hanlon
The twists, turns and unreliable accounts in this true story make this documentary series stand out.

I couldn't stop watching... It hooks you from the first minute into the documentary.
Le Noir Auteur
Terence Johnson
One of the most interesting watches of the year.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
And by focusing so heavily on Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, director Barbara Schroeder essentially snookers Evil Genius into a corner. The series gets far too comfortable with itself and her presence despite no willingness to really open up.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
It's a story worth uncovering, and with so much still left in the air, it's one that will most likely wind you up and never fully let you go.
Paste Magazine
Amy Glynn
It's well done. Duplass brothers moxie, decent pacing, broad scope, and lots and lots of crazy. Enough crazy to last you for days.
The Daily Dot
Audra Schroeder
It doesn't offer any tidy endings or a clear motive, but it does shine a light on a piece of history lost to time.
Den of Geek
Tony Sokol
Evil Genius twists the investigation into a story of compulsion. It is a compulsion for the cops, both state and federal, who follow it for fifteen years without closure.
Slashfilm
Chris Evangelista
A a tragic, unsettling story unfolds involving a series of manipulative, destructive people with no moral compass to speak of.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Rob Owen
The filmmakers' thesis is not completely convincing. Other evidence presented in Evil Genius suggests a less clean cut, more nuanced scenario may be closer to the truth.
