Reception


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 68% of 40 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "Bodkin's satire of true crime investigation could use a more compelling mystery to hang its quips on, but the series' sheer eccentricity makes for an intriguing enough tale from the old sod." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 59 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.
