Reception

Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast praised the series writing: "Also a reminder that the Golden Boy of Camelot was a human—and a complicated one, at that."[8] Conversely, John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal was more critical writing: "The fact that it interviews some of the same bottom-feeders who pursued the couple so relentlessly indicates cluelessness on the part of the filmmakers."[9]
