Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist

"You’ll come away from watching it with a huge amount of sympathy for Te’o and his aiga."

"I'm a sports fan but I definitely thought that (Tuiasosopo's) part of the story was the one that roped me in."

"The film is resonating."

"The doc is an indictment of a modern sports media seemingly more invested in arguments, analysis and smug mockery than fact-checked reporting."

"The stories (Te’o and Tuiasosopo) tell are almost more eyebrow-raising than the initially hair-raising details that came out. They’re also more heartbreaking."

"The media and social media made a joke out of (the scandal), but as is always the case, the real story is sad and painful and human."

"A refreshingly thoughtful and very watchable two-part series."

"No one is excused for their actions in the story, but a necessary dose of nuance and context is supplied here; these aren’t punchlines, they’re people."

"What makes the series most interesting is the insight it offers into Tuiasosopo’s state of mind as the perpetrator of the hoax."

"Directors Ryan Duffy and Tony Vainuku wisely offer no commentary or judgment as they revisit this astonishing story a decade down the road."
