	Media	Author	Review
		Inkoo Kang The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: The show is still frustratingly stingy with the kinds of numbers and figures that would provide viewers with a fuller picture (...) But it's undoubtedly a more mature work"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Matthew Heineman gets the sort of documentary access that is uncomfortable and impossible to look away from (...) 'The Trade' is lacerating, heartbreaking and current"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"The opioid crisis gets a thorough portrait that’s horrifying and human (...) These stories are told with a vérité immediacy that’s disorienting at times and almost uniformly unsettling."
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"'The Trade' is a reminder that the people who are caught up in this world are only human; it encourages empathy. Much of what is most affecting in 'The Trade' are the small human details"
		Melanie McFarland Salon	"The level of access Heineman and his directors of photography gain is extraordinary (...) It is transfixing."
