	Author	Review
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"A must watch, because it’ll show you how the government agencies that are supposed to protect children can often fail, often for very stupid reasons."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Inevitably compelling but structurally messy -- a byproduct, perhaps, of stretching the material over six parts."	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"This is primarily a human-interest story, but it is also fascinating and informative as a procedural"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"It’s as if the desire of 'The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez' to entertain, to ensure that we are as spellbound as possible (...) is greater than any need to inform and educate (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	David Opie Digital Spy	"[It] serves as a powerful reminder that homophobia kills children."	POS
