Critic Reviews
The TelegraphAug 15, 2023
Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, we’re now in a world where everything has to be black and white, where taking sides and shouting loudly is the route to likes and subscriptions. This was the focus of the programme, as much a study of toxic social media culture as a toxic celebrity marriage.

The American courtroom system turned these domestic and sexual assault allegations into a Punch and Judy show for the masses. That was bad enough, in the moment, but the protraction of this damaging psychodrama for the purposes of “entertainment” ought to worry us just as much.
