Caroline Framke Variety 02/22/2021
It has the veneer of completism, but by the end of its final episode, "Supervillain" feels more like an exercise in curiosity that became too impressed with its own conclusions to convincingly support them. Go to Full Review
Shani Harris Culturess 03/16/2021
I have never been intrigued by anything that Tekashi 6ix9ine has done as an artist. But it was validating to have proof that his fake persona was the result of an elaborate shell game of smoke and mirrors. Go to Full Review
Martin Carr Flickering Myth 03/16/2021
In a time when anyone with a camera phone and Instagram account can stake their claim in the public eye, Supervillain shines a light into some dark recesses allowing audiences to draw their own conclusions. Go to Full Review

Gill assembles a cautionary tale for the social media age; the story of a young man who mistook infamy and an overinflated sense of self for actual fame. Go to Full Review

Mike S 02/07/2024 Worst thing I have watched in years. See more 02/07/2022 Entertaining to a degree. But what is so maddening is that he is one of the biggest snitches in the history of gangs and still alive? And he is still making and releasing music? You would think the gangs would have tracked his house down and dropped a bomb on it by now. See more 07/19/2021 https://youtu.be/y9MpwzM13MI See more 05/03/2021 so i do not like 6ix9ine but the documentary is so interesting just so you know their is a ton of swears guns and nudity. See more 03/05/2021 Omigod this is the worst Documentary I've ever seen in my life! Takashi says his name every other sentence as if it got stuck in a Mali flashback. His life is beyond boring and at some point you start to ask yourself what the heck am I even watching! See more Read all reviews
