    Ultimately, just like those Fake Biggie songs, it all comes off as a hollow imitation once you really listen to it. Unsolved’s default is a string of clichéd cop-speak. ... The rest of the time, it’s all clumsy exposition dumps and self-consciously “streetwise” dialogue, sprinkled with awkward rap references. Unsolved may strut like a gangsta, but it sounds like a narc.

The reenactments of Pac's and Biggie's life (with actors whose resemblance is just uncanny) are probably the best aspects of the show. Overall I had a fun time with Unsolved in a guilty pleasure kind of way.… Full Review »

    It’s not as in-depth as “The People vs OJ Simpson”, or as energetic as “Straight Outta Compton”, but it’s very watchable and real crime showsIt’s not as in-depth as “The People vs OJ Simpson”, or as energetic as “Straight Outta Compton”, but it’s very watchable and real crime shows are always interesting. Doesn’t break new ground but it’s better than both of Tupac and Biggie’s biopic films.… Full Review »
