'Unsolved': Ten Episodes on the Murders of Tupac and Biggie

Two murders and the work of investigators: On February 27, 2018, USA Network premiered Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.. Kyle Long developed the ten episodes.

Investigations Across Three Timelines

The series tells its story across three timelines. At its center are the investigations of LAPD detective Russell Poole (1998) and those of Greg Kading (Josh Duhamel, 2006). Marcc Rose plays Tupac, Wavyy Jonez Biggie (for its background, see casting).

Little Music, but Compelling

Billboard’s review called the series “sprawling and messy” and criticized that music by the two title figures was almost completely absent; at the same time, it noted the show was often compelling. Complex found it “better than expected” because it chronicles the investigations rather than the rappers’ biographies. The creators said the series shows what the authorities determined; viewers must form their own judgment. In early May, the tenth episode closed the season.

In Germany, the series ran on Netflix beginning in June 2018, according to Musikexpress. On the status of the cases: investigations.
