Series director Brent Hodge teases all of Correia's sides in its expedient first episode, which makes a person want to watch more episodes -- easily done, since they're all so very short. Go to Full Review Elliot Smith IndieWire 04/06/2020
All great documentaries have a compelling central figure, and Hodge has struck gold with Correia, who projects a know-it-all manner, trash talks former mayors, steadfastly proclaims his innocence and doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.
