Season 1 Review:
If this documentary added anything substantially new to the conversation that Serial began in 2014, its efforts might feel more worthwhile.

Season 1 Review:
The Case Against Adnan Syed, at least in the first three hours, isn't a groundbreaking docuseries nor will it lead to another frenzy of obsessives. It's mostly just a well-done addendum to a well-known story: a few extra notes, a new theory here or there, an interesting visit or phone call that quickly gets dropped.
