Season 1 Review:
Access is key to the doc’s success. By amplifying those voices on the ground and capturing expert opinions on the legal framework and journalistic responses to the cases, Benally and Galkin strike that balance between emotional and informative. The directors deliver a layered portrait.

Season 1 Review:
This series will prove disappointing for true crime fans looking for a cheap thrill. And history buffs should look elsewhere, like last year’s riveting “Lakota Nation Vs. United States,” for a more comprehensive background about how the American government deliberately destroyed the cultures of indigenous peoples.

Season 1 Review:
If this show seems one-sided, its villains edited to appear almost cartoonish, that’s a fair criticism.

Season 1 Review:
Nobody cracks a case, or tells a very coherent or useful story. ... No one currently employed by the FBI, BIA or the various police departments offers any official comment on the cases, which makes it easier for implications to go unanswered. ... At the same time, the non-indigenous subjects who do speak aren't sufficiently grilled. ... It's not until episode 3 that the subjects making these arguments concede that the crimes being discussed may well be Crow-on-Crow, a little late for objectivity.
