I'm so glad Knox is getting to tell her story in this way," while another added: "It's so good!!! The show is phenomenal, I need more episodes now!"
A third person commented: "Bravo! Powerful and gut-wrenching."
HELLO!'s TV Writer Abby Allen said of the show: "I've had this series on my watchlist ever since I listened to a podcast interview with Amanda Knox. Grace Van Patten brings her shocking story to life in this gripping eight-parter, and with Sharon Horgan playing her on-screen mother, it's set to have you hooked from the start."
