More Critic Reviews for Captive Season 1 All Critics (8) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2) Watch one episode, then turn off your TV to reflect, or go on a walk and acknowledge what a privilege it is to live life outside captivity. Because the last thing you'd want to be is a prisoner in your own home. Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Lauren Leibowitz Thrillist Compelling true crime series chronicles real kidnappings. Jan 3, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media The testimonials themselves are gripping, as they range from touching to frightening. In many cases, watching this series is to be a witness to the innocence of the well-meaning brushing up against the trauma of the brutalized, and it's not pretty. Dec 12, 2016 | Rating: 6.5/10 | Full Review… Andrea Thompson The Young Folks If additional seasons of the series make their way to Netflix in the coming years, one hopes that Captive's creators will learn to better let these stories - of survival, struggle, human nature, and chilling circumstance - speak for themselves. Dec 8, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… Isaac Feldberg We Got This Covered This offshoot of the true-crime genre (Making a Murderer and so on) is another effective way to experience the worst moments in other people's lives from a safe distance. Dec 9, 2016 | Full Review… Julia Raeside Guardian Top Critic The third installment, "Lucasville," demonstrates how the series's focus on the here-and-now hobbles its attempt to tell a more resonant story. Dec 8, 2016 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang MTV It is cinematic and slickly produced, with production value visible in nearly every frame, including impressionistic re-creations and gorgeous aerial shots of Rio de Janeiro. Dec 8, 2016 | Full Review… Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times Top Critic It's a compelling topic, and the series certainly delivers the expected drama, albeit in a heavy-handed manner, meaning those looking for a docu-diversion should find it worthy of delving into.
