Entertainment WeeklyJessica ShawJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Lowe is (surprisingly) perfect as Chicago cop Drew Peterson, who's suspected of murdering his third and fourth wives. [20 Jan 2012, p.71]

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Lifetime's latest ripped-from-the-headlines biopic, about alleged wife-killer Drew Peterson, is salacious, sinister and downright sleazy. It's also as irresistible as a piping hot box of Dunkin' Donuts munchkins. Read full review

Wall Street JournalDorothy RabinowitzJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: A film that so deepens the dimensions of the known-all thanks to a masterful performance by Rob Lowe--it has the force and mystery of a new story. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesLori RacklJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Drew Peterson: Untouchable isn't a terrible movie. But it is the victim of a bad casting decision that put Lowe in the loafers of this puffy, inexplicably cocky and occasionally charismatic cop. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: Lowe's Midwestern accent comes and goes, but in general it's a performance that will make viewers plow through the darkness and keep watching. Read full review

PopMattersMichelle WelchJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: The performance and the script's stretches (stick around for Peterson's climactic strip search) are less convincing than campy. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryJan 23, 2012
Season 1 Review: The incomplete nature of the story (based on a book by Joseph Hosey) doubtless handicapped the filmmakers, but even so, the movie withers due to its inability to get under Peterson's skin. Read full review
