A Deadly American Marriage (2025)
“It’s a well-made documentary, even-keeled and patient in unspooling a story with many different “truths,” but like most true crime, it also follows a formula of exploitative shock value where it could tread far more carefully.” –

“It makes small nods toward moments of possible insight -- but none of them land. The story is there for shock value, compiled and shoveled out to stream.” –

Brandy Hellville & The Cult of Fast Fashion (2024)

“It’s a true crime view of a serious and disturbing series of issues all rooted in the massive consumerist drive to pursue endless profit and clout, while dehumanizing and exploiting the least powerful.” –

They Called Him Mostly Harmless (2024)

“On the surface, judging by the streaming service thumbnail and catchy synopsis, They Called Him Mostly Harmless appears like any other sensational procedural true crime saga about discovering the truth behind a baffling mystery. But it certainly isn’t.” –

May December (2023)

“May December is my favorite kind of exploration in this vein -- a thoroughly “human story” that asks the questions that true crime begs, without pretending to know the answers.” –

“This is what I have to call beating a thoroughly dead horse. And despite having a new perspective on the story via Lee, The Ringleader only really manages to give a platform to yet another Bling Ring member swearing they’ve reformed.” –
