	Media	Author	Review
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"A moving act of reclamation (...) No piece of art can bring back the souls who were lost. But this one does what it can to return them to the friends and families and communities who loved them once, and who miss them still"
		Kathryn VanArendonk Vulture	"It's gentle and careful and immensely loving, even when it's also full of palpable fury —everything true crime so rarely understands how to be"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A rigorous yet emotionally vivid documentary series"
		Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"An all-too-relevant story about persecution and violence, and the way in which public rhetoric —and inaction— fosters further hate"
		Jack Seale The Guardian	"A masterclass in righteous, savvy TV (...) Thoughtful, tender, enraging (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"This is one of the best docuseries in terms of truly focusing on the victims (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"It's not just about a bunch of related murders, but about just how uphill of a climb the LGBTQIA+ community had in New York and elsewhere during a time that wasn't all that long ago"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	This thoughtful, well-paced series weaves together illuminating social and historical context and a gripping criminal mystery to create an emotional and educational odyssey that transcends the standard boundaries of true crime
		Rachel Syme The New Yorker	"Rarely does a true-crime documentary concerning senseless deaths feel so essential, and so full of life"
		Chris Vognar Rolling Stone	"Caronna creates a steady storytelling rhythm, mixing artful recreations with interviews, period media coverage, maps, and stills; Last Call never feels like it is almost four hours long"
