Matt M Unbelievably icky to watch. Clearly made to capitalize on the social media phenomenon. Using reporters to basically tell the story was so gross. They're all soulless. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Well worth watching. Yes I recommend it. James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas April 20, 2023. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Kayde E Gabby and Brian were cast horribly. They look basically the same age as their parents and it's impossible to imagine otherwise even if you try exceptionally hard. Yikes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review Michele L Almost your typical Lifetime fodder, but at least this one is a true crime docuseries. The actor playing Laundrie is a good likeness to him, and the way he plays Laundrie in-character is, from all I've heard in the media, pretty accurate, dark side/nice side included. The actor playing Gabby Petito, however, is all wrong. From her height, to her use of makeup, (at least in the beginning before they decided to hit the road and became a dedicated "van-life" couple), and the "sure of herself" attitude she has. The real Gabby was not as pretty as the actor playing her, but she had natural beauty, and a sweet, quiet, shy way about her. This woman playing her looks like she's Gabby's older, and more worldly, cousin. The actor who plays Gabby's mom looks instead like a younger sister, and she sure isnt a Gen X-er. At least the storyline is pretty well done and it hasn't been re-made a dozen times to air on a dozen channels until it loses all resemblance to the real, original crime story. Good for a quiet evening in, or a middle-of-the-night watch when insomnia hits. You don't have to think too much when watching it, and it's interesting to hear/see the whole story in a concise timeline, all at once, instead of in the bits and pieces of it you get from the media.
