The Lady and the Dale: Season 1

"Tackles its wholly enigmatic subject with a sharp intelligence."

"The series is careful not to sanitise Carmichael as a trailblazer or to lionise her resilience at the expense of honesty."

"Surprisingly affecting."

"By the fourth hour you are still being stunned by the remarkable turns and twists."

"Authentic in a way only a few pieces of mainstream trans media have been before."

"Gratifyingly, it succeeds."

"The rare biographical doc in which the subject's domestic self is as interesting as their "professional" feats."

"Thanks to lots of old clips and some shockingly candid interviews, this close look at the media treatment of her is one of the most valuable aspects of The Lady and the Dale."

"If the four-part documentary The Lady and the Dale were someone you met at a post-pandemic cocktail party, it would be sidling up and saying, "Want to hear a crazy story?""

"Distinguishes itself as the rare true-crime documentary that asks us to consider both why some people opt to live a life rooted in one long con after another."

"Weaves each unbelievable twist of fate into an astonishing pastiche of industry and identity, on scales both national and personal."

"An explosion of lively stop-animation..."

"The first hour of The Lady And The Dale is a bit slow, but we know it'll pick up once we get into the story of Carmichael's marketing of The Dale and how it all came crashing down."

"Inside the smooth fascination of "The Lady and the Dale" is a tragedy that hasn't fully emerged."
