Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 07/02/2021
The series is at once well constructed and slightly less than convincing. When A True Story That Needs to Be Told meets This Would Make a Great Movie, the movie always wins. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/30/2021
It's much more a tapestry of a diverse community on the brink of something horrible than a voyeuristic depiction of an atrocity, which gives it depth even when some parts of its vast ensemble never quite feel fully conceived or embodied. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 06/30/2021
There are times when Somos looks remarkable, and the craft is always strong, but I was struck too often by how little investment I had in the show. Go to Full Review José de Jesús Chávez Martínez EscribiendoCine 07/11/2023

The interspersed images, staging, and narration of events allow the audience to piece the puzzle together and experience profound terror since Somos. reflects a Mexican reality. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres 08/30/2021
2.5/4
With a script adapted by Monika Revilla and by the novelist Fernanda Melchor, Somos. takes up the accumulation of information collected by Thompson through half a dozen semi-fictional stories that are skilfully intertwined.

4/5
But what makes the series meaningful is its ability to present a group of fictional characters that holistically represent the very real 300-500 men, women, and children who were kidnapped and murdered. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
