According to the Parisian:" The scriptwriting trick unfortunately turns into a heavy artifice where fiction could have contented itself with relying on real elements (...) A delirious fireworks display when we expected more sobriety." 3/ 5

According to Télérama:" Fiction thesis? The scenario, inspired by the Ligonnès affair, is precisely based on the investigation (...) Scene after scene, the hero, who multiplies professional and intimate failures, walks towards the only outcome he perceives: to accomplish his "masterpiece", a five-fold perfect crime, to reach the "status of divine assassin", as the director, Pierre Aknine explains. Too bad that in front of him the character of Anna-Rose (despite the accuracy of his interpreter) turns out to be wobbly and not very credible." 2.5 / 5
According to Le Nouvel Observateur:
" A schizophrenic thriller where the honest naturalistic reconstruction, close to the films of Nicole Garcia (casting of look-alikes, capturing the turpitudes of bourgeois calm outside but so tormented inside), telescopes with a nanardous remake of "Millennium" in conspiracy mode uninhibited." 2/5

According to Ouest France:" A plan-plan realization, hollow characters, fairly expected situations: the mini-series is disappointing. If Arnaud Ducret is doing well (from the point of view of the game), it is less the case with Emilie Dequenne, usually so much better." 2/5

According to Télé 7 jours:" If Arnaud Ducret is rather convincing in the role of a disturbing and mystical Dupont de Ligonnès, this series, forgetting the presumption of innocence, sometimes disturbs. Imagining such a scenario, when this case which has been in the headlines for almost nine years is still not resolved, is a risky bet ..." 2/5

According to Cable Sat TV:" This mini-series is a disaster. The finale falls into the worst possible ways. An unhealthy fiction, badly written and badly played." 1/5
