Reception
editMelissa Camacho for Common Sense Media gave the series three out of five stars writing: "This true crime docuseries combines intellectually-driven sleuthing efforts with Hollywood-like style in an attempt to create a series that's as entertaining as it is smart, but the significance behind who they are and what they do sometimes gets lost, thanks to the lighting and camera work used to amp up the drama as they work a case."[6] Joel Keller of Decider.com suggested streaming the series, writing: "Sasha Reid And The Midnight Order doesn’t need to be a slickly-made to communicate what Reid and her team do to help solve cold cases. But if you can get through that slick stuff, there’s a lot of good sleuthing to watch."[7]
