	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"[It] powerfully makes the case that a story of this magnitude demands asking questions, however elusive -- and painful -- the answers might be."	POS
United States	Haven Kimmel Vanity Fair	"Excellent (...) There is much to recommend about 'The Lost Children' (...) but if for nothing else, watch it for the heart of the matter: a group of women I don’t think I’ll ever forget, portrayed here with such respect and compassion"	POS

United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"HBO documentary series are typically a tier above other networks and 'Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children' is no exception (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"[It] is a must-watch for anyone interested in true crime documentaries. However, it is also too long and ends too prematurely (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Ashlie D. Stevens Salon	"A sharp, somber survey of a case marred by unanswered questions (...) [It] also captures what a bizarre, morbid media circus the cases wrought"	POS
United States	Tony Sokol Den of Geek	"This documentary series is a punch in the stomach. It will make you angry. It is also heartbreaking and will make you sad, occasionally physically hurt. "	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[It] doesn’t solve the case, but it certainly leaves us with more pressing questions than we already had (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] is well-balanced in its voices, clear of narrative and tough as nails — just as it absolutely needs to be."	POS
