    While it’s not an investigation per se, we appreciate the strong journalistic approach Reckoning takes, using direct quotes and personal experience, wherever it can, to establish historic, scary patterns in Combs’ behavior. At the same time, director Alexandria Stapleton is an artful builder of tension, which makes Reckoning eminently watchable.

    Many of these allegations are addressed in Sean Combs: The Reckoning. And while this means that the series isn’t a pleasant watch, it does feel like a grimly necessary one. Over the course of four episodes, the director, Alexandria Stapleton, paints a pattern of behaviour that starts to feel horribly inevitable.
