	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The series works as a near-perfect example of how to manage several concurrent themes, tangents and narratives at the same time, while never once failing to captivate the viewer."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"How Garbus balances [its] intersecting narratives (...) is what elevates 'I’ll Be Gone in the Dark,' a series that keeps its human core in a way that true crime offerings often don’t (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"The victims get their due, but they deserve even more of the spotlight"	NEU
United States	Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"A difficult but mesmerizing exploration of crime, obsession, and loss (...) It’s haunting and incredibly sad"	POS
United States	Rosie Fletcher Den of Geek	"Sensitively handled at all turns, 'I’ll Be Gone in the Dark' is different from your standard true crime series. Highly emotional in both a restorative cathartic, but also a genuinely upsetting way"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"If the aspects of the story pertaining to the Golden State Killer feel, here, the stuff of formula (...) the story of McNamara herself is told with crisp elegance"	NEU
United States	Kayla Cobb Decider	"Garbus' 'I’ll Be Gone in the Dark' deftly covers all [the] angles with a skillful hand that gets the point across, without being overpowered by the endless details of this case"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"It's a bit of a structural mess. Too drawn out at six parts, at its best it's a deeply personal ode to the late author and amateur crime sleuth Michelle McNamara"	NEU
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"This isn’t just another True Crime docuseries. It’s a game-changer (...) [It] breaks the mold by attempting something deeper, and more profound"	POS
United States	Judy Berman Time	"Garbus gives weight to the victims’ suffering without making a spectacle of it"	POS
