CNNBrian LowryMay 15, 2024
Season 1 Review: Part business meltdown, part crime mystery, part media critique, and part “tales of Ashley Madison,” it’s a look at the married-people hookup site that’s plenty salacious and definitely not monotonous. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerMay 15, 2024
Season 1 Review: There is no need to watch Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal if you already watched The Ashley Madison Affair. But if you haven’t, it’s an entertaining — if cringe-inducing — docuseries about the dating site and how its users got exposed when its weak security was breached. Read full review

The TimesCarol MidgleyMay 16, 2024
Season 1 Review: Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal is a tawdry, depressing tale told with lip-smacking, clickbaity relish by the film-makers. .... But it does have generous interviewees, by which I mean people willing to tell all on camera. Read full review

The TelegraphKeith WatsonMay 15, 2024
Season 1 Review: All clickbait tease with precious little substance to back it up, Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal turned out to be as grubby as the website that spawned it. It offers no ending at all, let alone a happy one. Read full review
