The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald One of the most powerful things you'll see this year. Nov 20, 2019 Full Review The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com That said, it's a chilling, often intriguing survey of an event that many of us may remember, but in our current political landscape is worth revisiting. This documentary - like history - should be deeply considered despite its imperfections. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dorothy Rabinowitz Wall Street Journal This saga of multiple legal battles, alive with passion and uncertainty, is filled with proofs leading here, twists leading there, until finally there are facts. That journey never loses an iota of its riveting force. Nov 6, 2019 Full Review The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Gabriella Geisinger Digital Spy Unfortunately, despite being a difficult but necessary watch, all The Devil Next Door did was leave this almost-question hanging in the last 15 minutes. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joel Keller Decider The Devil Next Door is a good revisiting of a case that has faded from a lot of people's minds. But to those who remember it, or even those who weren't around back then, it'll bring this important case back to life. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review The Devil Next Door: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Kate Hudson Pajiba It was a lot to fit into 5 episodes and could have benefitted with one or two additional eps in order to flesh out more of what was happening around the trial, instead of in it. Despite this, [it] is still worth your time. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v A thorough and compelling docu-series about a man accused of being a war criminal.While it is rather linear in it's telling of events, it does interview most of the remaining players to give you a good understanding of the power this trial had for it's time, and for the Jewish community. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow. What an intense docuseries. The court room scenes had me on the edge of my seat and in tears. Absolutely incredible. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review tom m Interesting. It seemed like a well-balanced treatment. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There is only one absolute and certain conclusion to this documentary - extremely long lasting and deeply felt need for revenge can possibly lead to self-deception and blind justice. This is in many senses the stories of post WW2, the US and Israel in a combined nutshell, and about them no one can ever be determined. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Netflix has been selecting some interesting material for their documentary machine and this one will likely create a greater emotional response than most. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic, gripping, docs-series about a modern Nazi war criminal trial that reinvented how these trials are heard. Both justice and injustice are served, but the story itself keeps you getting if it's one that you are unfamiliar with. Absolutely worth watching in today's climate.
