"This was so beautifully presented, with interest, humanity, complexity, and sensitivity. I found it fascinating from start to finish, and very much hope these documentatrians will continue their work with another subject; they do a fantastic job."

"I was very interested in seeing this documentary, but I was hesitant to pay for it since I pay for multiple streaming services already. I'm glad that I did. Firstly, because it was very informative and well done and secondly, to support new talent. I'm glad this is out there for others to see. This story needs to be told."

"Amazing. Thorough, so engaging and well-developed story…my mom and I watched the entire 5 episodes on the edge of our seats. High production value also. Great job I am so glad I saw it!"

"I Bid You Peace was genuinely eye-opening for me. Despite growing up in the PNW, I had no prior knowledge of Jeff Smith, his show, or the allegations that ended his career. Yet I found myself immediately drawn into his fascinating and tragic story. The interviews feel genuinely honest and raw, a refreshing departure from overly-produced streaming content today. My one complaint is that one interview camera seemed of lesser quality, leading to distracting perspective switches. Despite online accusations of it being a “hit piece,” I Bid You Peace presents a well-rounded portrait that allows viewers to grapple with the complexity of the man and his legacy. In an era when streaming services stretch stories into bloated episodes, this docuseries respects its audience, delivering a deep dive without unnecessary padding. Overall it’s an excellent example of what documentary filmmaking can achieve when it prioritizes substance over spectacle.​​​​​​​​​"
