Lee Zumpe Tampa Bay Newspapers 08/23/2023
The prison interviews act as the centerpiece for each episode of “The Lesson Is Murder.” Listening to how each subject twists their story to suit their purpose is both fascinating and frightening. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 03/31/2023
3/5
While some of the interactions may feel performative, the show provides comprehensive coverage of not just the crimes, but also the backgrounds and childhoods of the murderers, as well as interviews with victims' loved ones and convicted murderers.

Mimi J @Mimi0707 Aug 25 Unfortunately the Psychologist is not very ‘bright’ and her analysis is weak. I think the majority of people watching the show who are interested in criminology would know more. She has made plenty of mistakes in relation to mental health diagnosis and her interviewing skills are pathetic. Find a mental health specialist and you may have a slightly better show. See more Francis M 07/25/2023 Not good. The "psychological criminologist" seems to be grasping at straws more than giving actual good evaluations. See more John F 03/24/2023 If a true crime show bores me, it's a bad true crime show. The premise is interesting, but the execution is lacking. Especially the (clearly scripted) discussions between the students is boring and even annoying. I'll stick to the classic format, thanks. See more Read all reviews
