The Playlist’s Andrew Bundy writes, “If you’ve seen Cartel Land and Heineman’s immersive previous works, you know the inherently discomforting nature of The Trade Season 2’s subject matter, paired with its unflinching approach towards the human horrors it shines a light on, is the exact kind of magic trick he routinely pulls off.”

Inkoo Kang from The Hollywood Reporter says, “Heineman gives his viewers more than enough grit. I’d happily exchange some for a little more depth.”
