To really give a big up to Unsolved is the fact that even if Tupac and Biggie mean nothing to you, or how well you might or might not know the real players, the series reveals its subversive hand and never fails to deliver the goods as real life blends with myth and myth-making to create a whole new POV - or two. Which is why it is kind of amazing, despite all the other projects on the big and small screen, it has taken so long for the era of Peak TV to definitively take on the defining generational moments that the deaths of Tupac and Biggie were. It’s an accomplishment unto itself for a tale you may already know how it ends (or doesn’t end), and even more so when you see how Long and Hemingway use the cold case as a Trojan horse to break into a way bigger picture.Īmong various cultural rising tides, true crime and hip hop took hold of the collective conscious in the early 1990s and have only increased their influence since. With strong performances from Westworld’s Jimmi Simpson as a detective trying to get to the bottom of what really went down when Tupac was shot in Las Vegas in 1996 and Biggie was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1997, and Josh Duhamel as a task force cop in the same pursuit, Unsolved puts the needle down on all the right grooves.
