Timely and haunting, if far from perfect. Go to Full Review
Hank Stuever Washington Post 07/20/2020
"Outcry" failed to get interviews with some of its more culpable key players, but the series more than makes up for it with its deeper profile of Kelley himself, who is not always his own best advocate Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 07/02/2020
Outcry is completely effective at stoking our indignation. And if episodes three through five feel like they're repetitive, I think it's intentional - to simulate the protracted timeline of frustration experienced by Kelley. Go to Full Review

This will have you hooked, horrified and outraged throughout and long after watching. Go to Full Review
Marshall Estes The Spool 07/07/2020
[I]ts structure and pacing are pitch-perfect. However, its singular focus feels almost myopic, creating a failure of the system while not really showing the system at all. Go to Full Review
Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 07/06/2020
Like a lot of true crime miniseries it seems a little slow going (it takes ten minutes to establish that high school football is popular in Texas). But there are some strong personalities and a compelling underlying story. Go to Full Review

Green C @Green804 Nov 9 Fascinating case. Kudos to the attorneys and the public outcry See more Irina T 11/18/2023 One of the best documentaries I have ever seen, outrageous and shocking, it unfolds like a TV drama only that this is real life..... See more 02/13/2021 This was a very well put together documentary on the sensitive case of an alleged innocent kid convicted of child molestation. It goes through the case and all the points that cause the conviction to go I to question and into a new trial. It brings to light such an obvious conclusion to all facts brought into light and really highlights; perhaps it seems not even intentionally on a particular officer that makes you really question integrity in law enforcement over being proven you might have wrongfully convicted and how facts can be distorted to fit anyone's picture. Great watch I highly recommend. I definately hope the case is properly tried and if innocent he is set free. I am not that far in the series lol. See more 11/12/2020 Outcry lays bare the US, and Texas, justice system. Both the good and bad are told, without bias. The film does an excellent job of presenting the case, the facts, and the story, through the own words of nearly every significant person who played any kind of role as the story unfolds. Additionally, the filmmakers did an exceptional job of presenting nearly every piece of evidence surrounding this case, in a way that gives no indication that they are leaning one way or the other. You are left to draw your own conclusions, based on the facts and testimony of those involved. Right up until the very end. This series tells so many stories; Greg Kelly's, his family's, his girlfriend and her family, the family who took him in, when he, due to personal family tragedy, was going to be unable to remain at his HS and funish out his academic and athletic careers, the personal stories are told. Then there's the story's of the different law enforcement and legal teams; the local police department, the DA's office, the TX Rangers, the multiple defense teams, The TX State Court of Appeals and the national storyline regarding prison reform and wrongful conviction battles. Then there is the story of the small Town America that is ripped apart with the community choosing sides. Both believing they are doing what is right, and defending innocent victims, all are fascinating and need to be seen. Everyone owes it to themselves, to watch this exceptional docu-series,and then question all the institutions and processes involved. As important a piece of TV as I've seen, as this could be anyones brother, friend, child, elected official, next door neighbor, and the prospects are terrifying. See more andrew t 10/04/2020 Gripping. Disturbing. And an utterly damning exposition of professional incompetence. See more razvan p @n1mr0d 07/29/2020 the damage an incompetent system can do. though there are massive signs of corruption and malintent .. possibly tied to the rest of child molestation cases in the world See more Read all reviews
