Lots of praise for 1-3 being the first true case of the series, while also providing some big characterization moments. The relative simplicity compared to other cases and the meandering investigations keep it from the 8/10 tier, though. People generally liked Vasquez, too.

My rating: 10/10. Easily a top 5 case. This case does feel like it makes the most use of the 3-day system while not feeling too long. DL-6 is still probably my favorite cold case in the series. I also really love the classroom trial flashback.
