Critical reception

In a review in The Washington Post, Emily Yahr said that the half-scripted, half-documentary hybrid format doesn't work and the show is delivering a mixed tone. [9] Robert Owen of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said the viewers will be disappointed by the series. [10] A review in Variety called the show more like a water-cooler gossip than actual true-crime material. [11] Common Sense Media said the movie has a tongue-in-cheeck tone at times. [12]
