Interrogation

Interrogation emerged as a bold experiment in the true crime genre, challenging the traditional linear structure of television. Released on CBS All Access, the series invited viewers to play detective, offering nine episodes that could be consumed in any sequence before the concluding chapter. Based on a real-life case spanning decades, the narrative followed a young man accused of murdering his mother and the relentless detective who built the case against him. Peter Sarsgaard and Kyle Gallner delivered grounded performances that anchored the show's clinical, cold atmosphere. While the non-linear gimmick received mixed reactions, the show remains a significant artifact of the early streaming era’s willingness to disrupt viewing habits. It stands as a grim exploration of systemic failures and the malleability of truth within the legal system.
