False leads superfluously string the protagonist along; it feels as though the writers have padded the script rather than showed off their cleverness.
Martin Tsai, Los Angeles Times

Scenes pulse with the Internet's speed and sprawl, aided by clever editing that pops.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
The Den's commitment to its presentational conceit leads to a number of implausible scenarios, but what's more disheartening is the gore-fest it turns into once the curtain is thrown back on the mystery propelling both Elizabeth and the narrative.
