Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Salon.com
Sonia Saraiya
Madoff is a miss, quite unable to measure up either on the outrage/explanation quotient or the reveling in billions quotient.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gail Pennington
It feels gimmicky, with Dreyfuss talking to the camera to boast about himself, and opts to tell the story in an artsy way that doesn't service the message.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Madoff succeeds where it counts, at least: it gets great stuff out of Dreyfuss, and from Danner, who gives Ruth a boozy tragicomedy that nicely offsets Madoff's wheezy villainy.
Entertainment Weekly
Ray Rahman
Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good, keeping much of the miniseries in the red. Not even Dreyfuss and Danner's best efforts can't save Madoff from itself.
AV Club
Molly Eichel
Dreyfuss plays Bernie as a salesman. Instead of selling a product, he's selling prestige by proximity. Yes, sometimes he could be overblown and cartoonish, but, in a lot of ways, the performance fits the crime.
TheWrap
Amber Dowling
Hang in there with Madoff, and a surprisingly humane narrative awaits.
NPR
Linda Holmes
The film is otherwise unremarkable, really, but because Dreyfuss is given an exceptional tool with which to pound the sincerity of his remorselessness, it elevates what could be facile villainy to something more indelible.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Madoff feels like a network-TV attempt at something much darker and deeper, but outside of its charismatic leading man, there isn't much to recommend it.
New York Post
Robert Rorke
It's a chilling look at the rise and fall of a man whose greed knew no limits and unleashed a tide of misery.
Vox
Emily St. James
Overall, Madoff isn't really worth your time.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
It's a fine example of the new "so bad it's good" high-finance drama... It's the story of a con; the presence of Richard Dreyfuss, clearly having a terrific time doing terrible things, makes it both enjoyable and morally ambiguous.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
What it doesn't have, oddly enough, is much of a point of view.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Madoff is Mr. Dreyfuss's show, though, and while the charismatic character he puts on screen, generous and loyal to a fault, may not jibe with our impression of the real Mr. Madoff, he's fun to watch.
Denver Post
Joanne Ostrow
Dreyfuss is sensational as Madoff, a twinkle in his eye as he explains his "magic." He's a likable scoundrel at first, playing with his grandkids, reassuring his wife. The depths of his lying, his chutzpah, is almost beyond belief.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
The miniseries that is constructed around [Dreyfuss], though, is flat and simplistic, with none of the intelligence and intrigue that has elevated other stories set in high finance, Billions and The Big Short.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Like its subject, Madoff needs many more years to sit and reflect on the nature of its evil.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Two nights implies this will be epic, but this is the anti-epic miniseries, where the subject gets smaller and smaller while his crimes get larger and larger. It's instructional - just not emotionally engaging.
Variety
Brian Lowry
Those who invest their time in Madoff shouldn't come away feeling fleeced, exactly, but given the inherent dramatic possibilities in the story, the return for viewers seems at best marginal.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
Madoff stars Richard Dreyfuss as Mr. Madoff, a terrific Blythe Danner as his wife, Ruth, and is an audacious undertaking with a flaw in its DNA.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
Working from ABC News correspondent Brian Ross' research and book The Madoff Chronicles, the movie has enough juicy details to remain very watchable, and Dreyfuss is having a great time playing this awful man.
