Julia Raeside Guardian This offshoot of the true-crime genre (Making a Murderer and so on) is another effective way to experience the worst moments in other people's lives from a safe distance. Dec 9, 2016 Full Review Inkoo Kang MTV The third installment, "Lucasville," demonstrates how the series's focus on the here-and-now hobbles its attempt to tell a more resonant story. Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Meredith Blake Los Angeles Times It is cinematic and slickly produced, with production value visible in nearly every frame, including impressionistic re-creations and gorgeous aerial shots of Rio de Janeiro. Dec 8, 2016 Full Review Lauren Leibowitz Thrillist Watch one episode, then turn off your TV to reflect, or go on a walk and acknowledge what a privilege it is to live life outside captivity. Because the last thing you'd want to be is a prisoner in your own home. Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media Compelling true crime series chronicles real kidnappings. Rated: 4/5 Jan 3, 2017 Full Review Andrea Thompson The Young Folks The testimonials themselves are gripping, as they range from touching to frightening. In many cases, watching this series is to be a witness to the innocence of the well-meaning brushing up against the trauma of the brutalized, and it's not pretty. Rated: 6.5/10 Dec 12, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It's just so fsscinating to hear some of these survivors' stories, and see what courage they had. Can be disturbing to watch but i have never seen something like this on tv. And when they have the bad guys on there once in a while, that's crazy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
