Nick Schager The Daily Beast Knows the what, when, and where of this mind-boggling tale, but it leaves viewers to parse the more fundamental and tantalizing why. Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This three-episode docuseries is notable for having an extensive interview with Sherri Papini's ex-husband Keith Papini about her bizarre disappearance. The documentary is riveting but flawed for not fully investigating certain controversial accusations. May 25, 2025 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The disturbing three-part docuseries demystifies the strange story of Sherri Papini's fake kidnapping and the aftermath from the point of view of those who were most affected by her actions. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba There must be a better way to get the gotcha moment than meticulously trotting out trauma after trauma with the underlying question: “But who would be gullible enough to believe her?” Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) The tale of Sherri Papini’s disappearance should intrigue and shock true-crime fans, especially if there are any who aren’t already familiar with the case. Beyond that, though, there’s not much to the storytelling. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Maybe there wasn’t enough story to fill three episodes, or the filmmakers wanted to pull a twist as the series went on. But there was no need to show almost an hour’s worth of the cliched true-crime stuff... Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Megan e This was excellent! I was riveted from the start! I didn’t remember the details, so each episode left me on a cliffhanger. Binged this in one sitting! 5 stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Kip U You need to watch ALL the episodes to appreciate how Sheri’s lies came down worse than a ton of bricks on everyone. The FBI investigators did an elaborate job tracing the events from start to finish. Her lying hurt a lot of people. At the end I found it all kind of disturbing. My wife just shops. After seeing this show I won’t complain about the small change she spends anymore. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
