Miniseries Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Rather than look back in anger, as Murphy did brilliantly in his "American Crime Story" seasons on O.J. Simpson and on Andrew Cunanan, he chooses to use "Hollywood" to deliver a sense of denial... Ultimately, it's not healing so much as disturbing.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Generally worth the time, especially for those who see Turner Classic Movies as a regular destination. For Murphy, it's another big Cinemascope-style idea that overreaches, in the way his projects sometimes do in their effort to provoke and impress.
NPR
Eric Deggans
At times, it feels like an impractical fable. But Netflix's "Hollywood" is also an ambitious, well-crafted attempt to take control of the narrative, creating a vision of classic Hollywood that modern audiences can watch with a lot less shame and anger.
Slate
Sam Adams
When you factor in that the art Hollywood is talking about includes Hollywood itself, the self-congratulation verges on the obscene.
Inside Hook
Charles Bramesco
Murphy and Brenna have built a grand vision of Hollywood, and yet it's every bit as false as the one they're trying to bulldoze.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
The exact degree of ironic self-awareness here is hard to reckon, but "Hollywood," for all its exaggerations, feels sincere... Yet it's this very sincerity, even generosity - its best features, really - that keep the series from being lifelike.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
...the revisionist history falters midway through.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It just feels like [Murphy] got caught up in his own vision here, seduced by the lights of Hollywood into creating something with no consistent tone or vision.
BuzzFeed News
Michael Blackmon
The new Netflix drama is supposed to be a progressive reenvisioning of classic 1940s Hollywood. But the fantasy feels superficial.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
There's plenty of razzle-dazzle in "Hollywood" that keeps it humming along, even as it overpreaches. At an efficiently brisk seven episodes, it's nobody's idea of a dull time.
Shadow and Act
Trey Mangum
With the perfect mixture of camp and social commentary, Ryan Murphy's second Netflix Original series Hollywood aims to answer these questions and provides an aspirational blueprint for how it could be today.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Kathryn VanArendonk
It is a baffling Hindenburg of TV.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
It's a noble thought and an audacious premise. It doesn't work here, not because of the fancifulness... but because of the story and character strains that "Hollywood" visibly goes through to steer to its conclusion.
Houston Chronicle
Cary Darling
Murphy and co-creator Ian Brennan's desire to have "the good guys" win in this fictionalized Hollywood is so at odds with what really happened that it goes beyond fantasy and fairy tale into fever dream.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
The show doesn't present a series of "interventions" that could have accelerated the industry's progress; it presents a series of ridiculous plot contrivances.
NPR
Glen Weldon
What begins as a critique of media's tendency to cling to the same scrubbed, self-serving, cynical narratives that deny full humanity to women, people of color and queer folk becomes ... a tone-deaf paean to the Magic! Of! Hollywood!
The Grio
Candice Frederick
Hollywood does what many other reimaginings don't - employ other voices to help tell a story that is both a thoughtful work of fiction and inclusive.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Those two halves never quite fuse together, leaving Hollywood stranded between its poles. It's intermittently engaging, but often curiously off-putting, an undone dish of conflicting tastes.
Paste Magazine
Liz Shannon Miller
While it doesn't quite sell its point, it doesn't fail to entertain.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
What it lacks in substance, "Hollywood" makes up for with copious style.
