Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist

"Told using re-creation, interviews and footage from the time, there's a haunting and unsettling feel as the conspiracy starts to unravel, and the motivations that drove the people who carried out the heist - partially at least - become apparent."

"A tragic, unsettling story unfolds involving a series of manipulative, destructive people with no moral compass to speak of."

"But its portrayal of Diehl-Armstrong, the mentally ill woman to whom the title "evil genius" refers, is what breeds the most fascination and frustration."

"With Evil Genius there's actually a sense of discovery, and a crime spree so unusual that it genuinely approximates a Coen brothers movie, down to the quirky assortment of culprits and stooges."

"Evil Genius sits squarely in the "intense docudrama" format with which the network has had so much recent success."

"Perhaps the most startling thing about the whole enthralling enterprise is the way that the work of filmmakers Barbara Schroeder and Trey Borzillieri might have lined up their subjects for a potential new death-penalty case."

"It's the perfect story for one of the streaming service's true-crime deep-dives."

"Only becomes more captivating-and bizarre-in the final episode when a crucial witness makes an appearance."

"The case of true crime storytelling that can be too easily classified as merely satiating the supply-and-demand for such unconscionable tales."

"For a series that features, by its own description, a "master manipulator," Evil Genius feels more like a confused, unwitting pawn than an adversary worthy of taking on the challenge to uncover the truth."
