    While The Reckoning is a well-crafted series about the rise and fall of Combs, it is relentless. .... It’s disappointing not to see more time spent on the 2025 mammoth legal battle that ends the series: United States of America v. Sean Combs.

    It’s a disturbing insight into the mind of a man who thought he was superhuman and could not quite process what was happening as the walls closed in and he was finally reminded of just how mortal he truly was. It’s just a shame this long-winded film – stuffed with overwhelming details – could not get to the point more quickly.

    How much you want to spend four hours in the company of depressing allegations probably depends on how interested you are in Combs the rapper.
