Viewers find 'The Breakthrough' a gripping mini-series that masterfully balances intense drama with realistic investigative procedures. Its concise format, spanning only four episodes, is praised for maintaining suspense and depth without dragging on. The series is lauded for its realistic portrayal of the emotional and procedural complexities of a long-standing murder case, enhanced by strong performances and a dark, immersive atmosphere. However, some viewers were left wanting more clarity on the genealogical DNA aspect used in solving the crime.

👍 Realistic portrayal of investigation

👎 Some confusion over DNA genealogy
