Ken S @kenscar May 29, 2026 This is one of the most extraordinary documentaries I have ever watched. The producers go beyond showing the pain and suffering of the families of the victims and the four wrongfully accused boys to show how this horrific crime deeply affected law enforcement officers, the citizens of Austin, and even other documentary-makers. The story is told in a non-linear way that was so compelling I could not stop watching. This doc deserves every award there is to give. My heart aches for everyone that PoS Brashers hurt. To paraphrase one of the family members: It is so hard to process that people that evil exist in this world.

See more mark G @Mark_Alan_G. Apr 11, 2026 Lifelong resident of Austin that remembers this incident very well. This documentary has access to a lot of information, both old newsreels, interviews with people including the suspects, in that regards it's great. It only slightly goes off the rail when it gives Sheila Wysocki any kind of attention because she's a total joke only seeking attention. It also portrays Paul Johnson as the clown that he is. I have read and watched everything having to do with this case, as I had involvement with people who were friends with the victims. I did believe the four might have done it, but I abandoned that years ago See more Marc Z. @TKDLife Mar 19, 2026 Boring. Poorly shot. Poorly edited. Way too long. Among the worst documentaries I have seen. See more Michael B @KVD1969 Sep 23, 2025 Directed by Margaret Brown and produced by A24, *The Yogurt Shop Murders* is an HBO true-crime docuseries that premiered in August 2025. The five-episode season meticulously chronicles the tragic 1991 murders of four teenage girls inside an Austin, Texas, frozen yogurt shop. Rather than leaning into typical true-crime sensationalism, the series heavily focuses on the profound, enduring grief of the victims' families. It also exposes the critical flaws of the justice system, deeply examining how aggressive police tactics led to coerced false confessions and wrongful convictions. The documentary culminated in a powerful, newly produced finale following the real-world September 2025 DNA breakthrough that finally identified the true killer. See more Luisa S @RT61695462 Sep 2, 2025 A different way to narrate a crime story. It does touch on the pain of these families and all the difficult angles of the same complex problem. I really hope this case gets resolved, but if not it is very reassuring to know these families have each other. See more Read all reviews
