Reception
Murder Mountain has received mostly positive reviews. Writing for The Daily Beast, Melissa Leon said that though it is "not the next Making a Murderer ... Murder Mountain is an eye-opening watch".[5] Lea Palmieri of Decider wrote, "if a weed farm and several unexplained missing persons doesn't add up to a compelling binge-watch, then nothing does".[6] For Film Inquiry, Tom Bedford describes the series as “a fascinating insight into unique communities, unexplored lands, and disenfranchised voices.”[7] It was the most streamed documentary on Netflix up to that point.[8]
Officials in the Humboldt County area criticized the series and expressed worry over the potential long-term effects on local tourism and economic development.[9] The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office questioned the accuracy of the series, calling it "one side of a highly sensationalized story".[10]
