Unnervingly vivid and rich. ... Quibbles aside, it’s hard to imagine a more rewarding five hours of television than this encyclopedically detailed chronicle of an accused Nazi war criminal whose prolonged courtroom battles, which ended only with his death in 2012, said so much about the ineradicable memory of the history he represented.

“The Devil Next Door” definitely has narrative twists, but in its current state it seems that five episodes were simultaneously too many and too few; if this is to be a straight retelling of history, the series drags. If it was meant to really interrogate the questions it raises, it’s not thorough enough. That said, it’s a chilling, often intriguing survey of an event that many of us may remember, but in our current political landscape is worth revisiting.

Netflix's The Devil Next Door is, at best, only able to answer some of the questions it poses and only able to tackle the complications adequately. Boasting a solid cast of principals from Demjanjuk's original trial, Yossi Bloch and Daniel Sivan's newly available documentary series is strongest on that facet of the story, before struggling and stumbling to make any big-picture arguments.

A thorough and compelling docu-series about a man accused of being a war criminal.
While it is rather linear in it's telling of events, it does interview most of the remaining players to give you a good understanding of the power this trial had for it's time, and for the Jewish community.
