Aramide Tinubu Variety 01/31/2025
Most of the information presented will be repetitive for listeners of the podcast, but newcomers will likely be riveted by this truncated recap with its accompanying visual elements. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 03/09/2025
This docuseries is better than the Scamanda podcast because it has interviews with members of convicted scammer Amanda Riley's blended family, including one of her stepdaughters. More investigation was needed for enablers' involvement in the cancer fraud. Go to Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba 02/19/2025
The show doesn’t add anything substantive to the account -- if anything, it winnows its story down to a shorter format. But it’s undeniably fascinating to see the scale of the fraud in the many, many staged medical photos. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 01/31/2025
Scamanda gets to the point of its story quickly, which is always appreciated during true crime docuseries. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
