"It's well-constructed and a quick watch."

RogerEbert.com

"What makes the Lucas case special... is not just how the killer played the system, but how willingly, even insistently, the system played along."

—

Wall Street Journal

"Lucas' story is a testament to the disaster that can follow when police seek easy answers..."

—

Time Magazine

"Kenner methodically lays out the faults in the system, taking no prisoners."

—

Salon

"If it's actually a sly jab at us and our obsession with reheating gruesome deaths, then perhaps it's Netflix's smartest true crime saga of them all."
