    Finally a decent show about the Tupac and Biggie murders. Not perfect but I loved it!

    Unsolved is cheesy as all hell. The writing is simply subpar and the acting is mediocre at best... BUT it's extremely entertaining. The real life story is just so fascinating that even in this uninspired presentation it's quite enjoyable. 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 aUnsolved is cheesy as all hell.

    Perfect score for me, although I admit I'm slightly biased. This specific topic is just so interesting to me, always has been.

    The show did not show enough of the Biggie and Tupac timeline. The person playing Biggies mother is one of the worst actors i have ever seen, her horrible fake accent completely ruins almost ever scene that she is in. and the person playing Tupac did not have the right voice.

    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 shows are always interesting. Doesn’t break new ground but it’s better than both of Tupac and Biggie’s biopic films.

    [Unsolved] manages to permeate the layers upon layers of conspiracy theory, mythology and true crime intrigue that still envelops the unsolved crimes, with a painstaking recall of key events. With compassion and respect for the victims of these crimes, they explore what may have happened, and the results are intriguing, especially if you've followed the case over the decades.

    In the end, despite its the ungainly amount of information it tries to unload and parse, for reasonably long stretches, Unsolved has the propulsive energy and stylish pop of a pretty good nighttime soap. But it’s one that, to its credit, never loses sight of the untimely deaths that brought this whole complicated story to life.

    It’s a daring, immersive undertaking by USA, while also being far removed from the usual true crime suspects--lately the Menendez Brothers and Waco-based cult leader David Koresh.
