According to Uproxx.com, "Sunday night, the first part of Dan Reed?s four-hour documentary, Leaving Neverland, about two men claiming Michael Jackson sexually abused them as children, will air on HBO and it will drop like a bomb... It's convincing as a documentary can be." Reed told the press, "It?s sad, isn?t it? I mean, he?s a great recording artist, he was a great entertainer. That will now have a bitter taste, I suppose, in a lot of people?s minds."
