“Showtime’s troubling and compelling new docu-series treads into the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet.”

“Boston’s Finest is a sleek and engaging work…a series that feels almost scripted, in the best of ways…”

“Boston’s Finest is a welcome sight… refreshingly free of reality TV’s more insipid and manipulative dramatic tricks.”

“At the Sundance Film Festival, Dark Matter, a fictional account inspired by the shootings [at the University of Iowa], won the Alfred P. Sloan Prize for the best feature film dealing with science or technology…”
