	Media	Author	Review
		Caroline Framke Variety	"The series’ attention to detail is painstakingly thorough, which is sometimes to its detriment (...) The most frustrating thing about these staged gimmicks is that they prove especially unnecessary"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"The frustration of 'Lorena' is that there are many reasons the story is relevant today and worthy of closer examination and reexamination. Many of them are covered here. It just takes too long to get there."
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[It] offers some fresh insight into our changing views on domestic violence, it’s too often sidetracked by the sheer spectacle of 'the incident' and its aftermath."
