Season 1 Review:
AKA Jane Roe is constructed like a mystery, building toward a previously unseen interview with the late Norma McCorvey -- made famous by the abortion-rights case Roe v.

But the documentary is most intriguing as a profile of a woman who spent time as a lightning rod for both sides of the most divisive of political issues.

AKA Jane Roe is both a must-see film as well as a deeply frustrating one. ... But if AKA Jane Roe is a fascinatingly humanizing tale of the life behind the lawsuit, it also suffers greatly from Sweeney's narrow focus on his subject's theatrical bent and "deathbed confession."

Season 1 Review:
“AKA Jane Roe” starts with a fascinating story but fails to go deep into the mind of a woman who was constantly changing.
