Who Killed Robert Wone?: Season 1 (2023) 83% EDIT “The documentary’s captivating structure, deconstructing a case with an ultimately inconclusive outcome, could be read as a cautionary note about establishing judgments based on speculation. It probably won’t be.” – BuzzFeed News Mar 13, 2023 Full Review Firefly Lane: Season 2 (2022) 67% EDIT “Firefly Lane doesn’t shy away from exploring how even chosen family members can cause so much pain.” – BuzzFeed News Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Casey Anthony: Where the Truth Lies: Season 1 (2022) 40% EDIT “A new documentary, Where the Truth Lies, gives Anthony a voice, grappling with claims of sexual abuse, police incompetence, and the media’s inability to talk about trauma.” – BuzzFeed News Nov 21, 2022 Full Review The Murdaugh Family Murders: Season 1 (2022) EDIT “ The documentary understands its purpose not as an inquiry into the mind of Alex Murdaugh, but about the links between crime, privilege, and power.” – BuzzFeed News Nov 11, 2022 Full Review The Staircase: Season 1 (2022) 92% EDIT “Despite the series’ predictability, the rabbit-hole appeal of the original story should keep plenty of viewers watching.” – BuzzFeed News May 5, 2022 Full Review Captive Audience: Season 1 (2022) 92% EDIT “Rather than refictionalizing the Stayner family story as if it hadn’t already gotten major media coverage, grappling with their story as a media event makes for a less clichéd, more probing docuseries.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Unsolved Mysteries: Season 1 (2020) 77% EDIT “Focusing on perplexing crimes and stories about victims largely ignored by the genre, the streaming giant’s true crime reboot actually cuts through the glut.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review The Vow: Season 1 (2020) 72% EDIT “You must be very trusting, says one young woman. Not anymore, they reply. And in some ways, despite nine hours of television, that’s as deep as the documentary’s insight gets.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult: Season 1 (2020) 100% EDIT “Seduced is ultimately better at illuminating the reasons that led women to NXIVM in the first place, along with the strange gendered dynamics of the group.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review A Teacher: Season 1 (2020) 74% EDIT “Teacher-student affairs are often portrayed as sexy, salacious scandals. A Teacher gets that they're really about abuse of power.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Selena: The Series: Season 1 (2020) 34% EDIT “The show savvily depicts the clueless white stylists and photographers of major label EMI trying to sell her as an exotic “world” artist.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Mrs. America: Season 1 (2020) 96% EDIT “In reimagining the conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly as a prestige-TV antihero, the new FX series Mrs. America overlooks some uncomfortable realities.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Too Hot to Handle: Season 1 (2020) 36% EDIT “The latest dating show on Netflix never achieves the outrageousness required to make truly great so-bad-it’s-good reality TV. ” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Dating Around: Season 1 (2019) 93% EDIT “With its inclusive casting and thoughtful editing, the reality show captures what dating actually feels like.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Hillary: Season 1 (2020) 78% EDIT “Hillary dwells on the past without shedding much new light on Clinton’s career or our political present.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness: Season 1 (2020) 84% EDIT “Even by reality television standards, Netflix’s new show is completely wild. But it never moves beyond caricature. ” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Love Is Blind: Season 1 (2020) 66% EDIT “The new Netflix dating show is a grab bag of reality TV genres that doesn’t quite go anywhere.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez: Season 1 (2020) 68% EDIT “The new series Killer Inside explores the role that queerness and denial might have played in Hernandez’s life, death, and crimes.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Are You the One?: Season 8 (2019) 83% EDIT “While most dating shows idealize existing ideas about love and desire, these castmates are openly grappling with cultural scripts — and creating new ones.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Crime Scene: Season 1 (2021) 54% EDIT “The third episode of the series is titled “Down the Rabbit Hole.” It could have been the subtitle for the entire series — and not in a good way.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 6, 2022 Full Review Escape at Dannemora: Season 1 (2018) 89% EDIT “The resulting program — hardly able to generate Oz-level drama — takes too much time and perhaps too many liberties in fictionalizing the facts...” – BuzzFeed News Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Dirty John: Season 1 (2018) 67% EDIT “In the scramble to extract big meaning (and meaty roles) from true crime stories, scripted series like Dirty John may make them less interesting...” – BuzzFeed News Apr 5, 2022 Full Review American Crime Story: Season 2 (2018) 88% EDIT “The Assassination of Gianni Versace seems to disavow its own fascination with killer Andrew Cunanan, and ends up taking a safer route.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Ghislaine Maxwell: Sex, Lies and Secrets: Season 1 (2021) 75% EDIT “Epstein's Shadow zeroes in on Maxwell to provide a portrait of the ruthlessness of privilege.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 5, 2022 Full Review Sophie: A Murder in West Cork: Season 1 (2021) 86% EDIT “Sophie: A Murder in West Cork is a promising entry into prestige true crime, but ultimately succumbs to the genre’s conventions.” – BuzzFeed News Apr 5, 2022 Full Review
