	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Powerful, comprehensive and full of revealing interviews (...) Challenger: The Final Flight provides an impressive amount of context to the disaster, the lives it claimed and the survivors left behind to pick up the pieces"	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"The series does take a deep dive into the story, providing no small amount of drama and some eye-opening details"	POS
United States	Noel Murray AV Club	"The Final Flight could be a lot more focused. But Leckart and Junge ultimately have the goods, and they do deliver. Their final half-hour in particular is incredibly dramatic"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] moves this story from a tragedy into an outrage. But it does an elegant job, too, of conveying precisely why NASA felt it needed the boost of a popular and quick mission, and what it might have gained"	POS
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"With the four-part Netflix docuseries “Challenger: The Final Flight,” we get perhaps the most comprehensive and humanized version of events yet (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"'Challenger: The Final Flight' is haunting and effective with incredible archive footage to back up NASA’s biggest failure (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"[It] contextualize a major moment in a way that clarifies it for people who weren’t alive when it happened and makes it more vivid for those who were."	POS
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"Challenger: The Final Flight is full of information for people who only know about the Challenger explosion as a historic event, but even for those of us who were around when it happened"	POS
