Season 1 Review:
The three-part Netflix series “American Nightmare” from filmmakers Felicity Morris and Bernadette Higgins (“The Tinder Swindler”) still packs a sharp punch and feels like a fresh and comprehensive retelling of the story. The success of the docuseries comes in great part because Huskins and Quinn sat down for extensive interviews and are admirably forthcoming in their recollections of the ordeal they endured.

Season 1 Review:
American Nightmare teases out the story of Denise Huskins’ kidnapping to a bit of an irritating degree, but we do understand why the filmmakers did what they did. It’s a fascinating story of law enforcement and confirmation bias, one that needs to be on a platform like Netflix.

Season 1 Review:
The latest hit Netflix docuseries finds chilling and effective ways to go beyond the standard true-crime expectations.
