Reviews
The series received positive reviews from critics. According to The Guardian,
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
Where other true crime hits have followed a linear chronology, The Keepers hops between 1969, the 1990s and today, striking a fine balance between narrative structure – a wow moment at the end of every episode – and respect for a subject that doesn’t need or deserve sensationalism.[7]
The Archdiocese of Baltimore responded to the series by adding a FAQ page to their website.[8]
